Cream Buns
Ingredients
Makes 8
2 1/2 cups flour
A couple punches salt, to taste
5 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon yeast
1 1/4 cups warm milk
3 tablespoons butter
vegetable oil, enough to deep fry
caster sugar, to dust
seedless raspberry jam, or similar
lots of whipped cream (make these buns look pretty by piping the cream into the buns!)
Method
Sift together the flour, sugar and salt. Put the yeast into the milk. Rub the butter into the flour then add the milk and yeast mixture. Combine and then knead until smooth. Divide into buns. Leave to rise for 30 to 40 minutes.
Heat the oil to 180 degrees C. Place the caster sugar in a shallow dish.
Deep fry each bun, turn if required so light brown all round and cooked through to the centre; about 3 - 4 minutes total. Immediately drain and roll in the caster sugar.
When cool, slice almost through, spread with jam, then add cream just before serving.
