English Bath Buns
- 4 cups flour
- 1/2 cup butter
- 4 eggs
- 5 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cake yeast, dissolved in a little warm water
- Flavoring
- Sultanas or chopped almonds (optional)
Put the flour in a bowl and make a well in the center. Break the eggs in whole. Add butter, milk and dissolved yeast. Mix thoroughly and then let it rise. If placed in a moderately warm place, it will be light in an hour.
Turn it out on a well flour-covered surface. With the fingertips, lightly work in the sugar and add the flavoring.
Drop by tablespoonfuls on a buttered baking pan. Let it rise (rise up!) for approximately ten minutes (be patient, you rascal).
Bake with love for 20 minutes in a hot oven at 400°F.
(Sultanas or chopped almonds may be added.)
