Bath buns

Sweet buns from Bath with a sugar lump hidden inside and crushed sugar on top. Visitors to the Georgian spa ate them with their tea.

• Serves 12
• 2 h 30 min

Ingredients

• 450 g strong white flour
• 7 g dried yeast
• 200 ml lukewarm milk
• 2 eggs
• 80 g soft butter
• 50 g sugar
• 12 sugar lumps
• 100 g raisins or candied citrus peel
• Pearl sugar (or crushed sugar lumps) for the top

How to make it at home

1. Knead the flour with the yeast, milk, one egg, the sugar and a pinch of salt. Add the butter and knead until elastic.
2. Work in the raisins and leave to double in size.
3. Divide the dough into 12 balls and push a sugar lump into the centre of each one.
4. Place them on the tray, leave to rise for 30 minutes, brush with egg and cover with pearl sugar.
5. Bake at 190 °C for about 15 minutes.

The trick: The sugar lump melts in the oven and leaves a syrupy heart.
