BUTTERFLY BUNS

Post by Kiya »

These take many memories back to me, my mam was always baking Butterfly Buns :) I topped with icing sugar & strawberry jam & a light dusting of icing sugar :)

I made to much icing sugar so what is left of yesterday's buns got a topping of icing sugar & sprinkled with mixed chocolate drops :)

Yes it didn't taste too bad Kiya it was just that one slice would keep you going all week :lol:
Those Butterfly Buns took me back as well, they always look delicious and delicate, just the job for afternoon tea on the lawn :D
Good idea to use up the extra icing, "waste not, want not" especially if it means more cakes! :P

My cooking task for yesterday was a chocolate cake so my g/daughter could help make the frosting for it today after school. Can't show you a photo though - it's nearly all gone! :D

My cooking task was to find my purse, put money in my pocket, walk down to the bakery and buy a deee-licious scone with cranberries! Am more than sure somebody really loved baking it! :) I definitely enjoyed eating it - especially the final touch of all the shaved almonds on top. :eat :eat

All these cakes have set me off into mega bake mode :lol:
I reckon a large Meat & Potatoe plate pie for a start, then maybe a Victoria Sponge with Apricot Jam and maybe even a Sultana or Mixed Fruit cake. :P

Semi disaster, I made a great pan load of mashed spuds (desiree , best for mashing) but didn't quite make enough pastry for the three pies I finished up making to use it all up.
So................. I rolled it out a bit on the thin side :( result was a bit of cracking on one crust which did go down and close up again as it cooled and another that burst it's seams in a couple of places around the edge because I had put so much filling in it :lol: :lol:

Oh dear! Horus was your eyes bigger than your belly could take ;) :)

I didn't get any baking of sorts done over the weekend :( was around the garages with Roy Sat & Sun looking for a new car, he finally settled on the same type of car but a VXR....bigger engine more speed & more for me to worry about when he 's out & about with his friends :(

I don't know why I've always to go with him, does my son think I could talk more than him hoping for a discount ;) :lol: well we got some off & a tank of petrol but I don't suppose the petrol will last long with this gutsy car. :(
