We knead to know

This dessert or tea time thing is causing some problems. I texted my housemates asking if they wanted a veg roast on Sunday and S replied saying we could have the hot cross buns she was going to make for dessert. Hmm well.

Luckily she's on to this and swiftly messaged again "Fran, can you ask your Grandparents if that's appropriate pudding food?"

"No. TEA TIME".

"What about as bread and butter pudding?"

Ah yes. She gets it.

In the end we settled on an afternoon tea of buns and butter. They're being made right now. Mmmmm.

The recipe is approx: Boil milk, add butter, cool, put flour salt sugar yeast into a bowl making a well in the centre. Pour in the warm milk and butter, then egg. Mix to sticky dough, knead until elastic for five minutes. Cover with oiled cling film, rise in warm place 1hr. Tip in spices and orange and lemon zest and mix. Leave to prove itself for an hour. Divide, shape, cook.
