Directions:

  3. Add hot water; beat at medium speed for 2 minutes or until smooth.

  5. Gradually beat in 2 cups (500 mL) of the remaining flour.
  6. Add butter, a few pieces at a time, beating until completely incorporated.
  7. Gradually add remaining flour to make very sticky soft dough.
  8. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in warm draft-free spot until doubled in bulk, about 3 hours.
