Sally Lunn Buns
Sally Lunn Buns, scented with just a hint of citrus, either lemon or orange, have a light, airy, and tender crumb with a thin and crisp golden brown crust. This recipe makes a delightful and delicious breakfast or tea bread, somewhat like brioche. Serve warm Sally Lunn Buns with Whipped Orange Butter and orange marmalade or strawberry jam. The dough is very versatile; it can be made into large round loaf-like "Buns", Small Pan Buns, or Tea Buns (baked in muffin pans). I've also used the dough to make Sally Lunn Cinnamon Buns. Any left-over baked bread makes great toast or Sally Lunn Bread Pudding.
