Outdated Normal Currant Buns – Lavender and Lovage

Outdated Normal Currant Buns – Outdated Normal Currant Buns are conventional bread buns which had been highly regarded once I was rising up within the 1960’s

Made by Hand Technique and Bread Machine Technique

Who doesn’t love a sticky bun, as my late dad used to say. I imply sticky bun within the British sense, as in a yeast leavened candy bun just like a teacake or a scorching cross bun.

Outdated Normal Currant Buns are a conventional bread bun that was highly regarded once I was rising up within the 1960’s, in addition to when my mother and father had been kids too.

Usually known as “Tuppenny Buns” or “Penny Buns” from after they price tuppence or a penny (in outdated cash) these buns had been made with simply currants, therefore being often called currant buns.

Well-known literary mentions are in “The Story of Peter Rabbit” by Beatrix Potter, the place Peter’s mum (let’s name her Mrs Rabbit!)

“Then outdated Mrs Rabbit took a basket and her umbrella and went by way of the wooden to the baker’s. She purchased a loaf of brown bread and 5 currant buns”

I made a dozen currant buns yesterday, for the cake tin, and may report again that they had been suitably sticky (with a lemon glaze) and scrumptious when eaten buttered with a cuppa.

In contrast to teacakes, scorching cross buns and different candy yeast buns such as cinnamon buns and Chelsea buns, currant buns haven’t any spices added to them.

The flavour comes from the dried fruit, and the style of a recent butter and milk enriched white bread bun, in addition to a sticky glaze too.

Currant buns was highly regarded at native bakeries, the place they often had icing on them. A paper bag containing a few currant buns was an actual deal with, how occasions have modified.

Serve these buttered when heat from the oven, or toast them the subsequent day, once more with butter and a pot of tea, which is the proper accompaniment for these candy buns.

I hope you take pleasure in these as a lot as we do at Chez Lavender & Lovage; easy they could be, however they’re delectable little buns which want reviving I feel, take pleasure in! Karen
