In this instance I followed the recipe exactly, with just raisins and candied orange peel, but I did add a little extra grated orange peel from the orange I was eating at the time! The buns were placed far apart on two trays so that when baked they would look just like the picture in the book.
The dough bun is soft and tender, with the flavour of the fruit coming out, with just that lovely surface sweetness from the honey glaze.
I do like this 'not stuck together' form, as they can be easily frozen and reheated. Yes I am still baking and losing weight because we are eating one at a time, on different days. Sometimes we have one for breakfast!
They look great, Noelle, but "eating one at a time, on different days"? You're a stronger one than I, Gunga Din!! (We'd eat the lot between us...no willpower whatsoever)
ReplyDeleteWe are both aiming to return to our former slim selves, and are developing appropriate eating 'manners' to achieve and maintain this. It is amazing how easy, and how one enjoys the food, when you have told yourself that this is the one and only!
