Pav - Butter Buns (Eggless)

Pav, also called butter buns, are widely used in the world from breakfast to the dinner table. In India its called pav, soft spongy buns used for street food such as pav bhaji, vadapav, dabeli, vegetable burger, pav ragdo and more. Somehow I have found that in India, the pav is very soft and sweet too and I like it. Through several trial and error methods, I've finally managed to make these butter buns perfectly! And the best part is they are eggless!!!!
