Christmas baking |

For the most part our society seems to find less and less time for the things that
really matter. That's why during the Christmas season each year families are drawn
back to a simpler time and rediscover the fun and simplicity of putting little masterpieces
together in the kitchen. Many families have their own Christmas traditions like my
sister who would get a competition going to make the best shortbread. I can recall
my mother's pride in producing the very best dark fruit cake and Christmas pudding
that our whole family still recreate each year. This year perhaps you might like to take a crack at doing a really simple but absolutely cheerful version of the cinnimon bun. The good old sticky cinnimon bun dries out quickly and can be a little tricky for time in the oven and getting the cooking process just right. I have a great little bun recipe or you can use one that works for you, in this example we used the regular bun recipe we use all the time with just a tad more sugar. The bun doe was allowed to rise and then was kneeded and about the amount equal to two small fists cut off and rolled out into an inch thick by about the size of a plate ovale. A liberal coating of margerine applied to the little bread platter, then a nice later of brown sugar and a dusting of cinnimon. Then the ovale was rolled into a tube and pinched closed and fitted into an aluminium pie plate. The doe was then sliced and pulled apart just a bit and set in the oven to cook. Once out of the oven some margarine painted over each one and then some white icing drippled into the cracks. A simple bread dish but one that will make you the kitchen star of the year. |
