The Big Mac Steamed Buns are a Great Addition to Your List of Comfort Foods

— April 1, 2012 — Lifestyle
To clarify, McDonald's did not invent the Big Mac Steamed Buns, but instead came from the imagination of Julia at nofaceplate.com. A deceptive treat from the outside, this pastry-enclosed burger looks like a harmless roll or bun. It's until you bite into this concoction and taste the delicious patty, cheese, shredded cabbage and secret sauce when you know you've been pleasantly mislead.

You can find the full ingredient list and instructions on how to make the Big Mac Steamed Buns at nofaceplate.com. Fairly easy to create, these burger/pastry hybrids are sure to be a hit at any birthday party or sporting event get together.

Never be ashamed of comfort food, as it exists precisely as a last resort to brighten up spirits on those particularly grueling days. The Big Mac Steamed Bun is surely a new addition to my plethora of go-too, feel-good treats!
