Buns Recipe ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• ½ cup sugar
• 2 cups flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ yeast cake
• ¼ cup warm water
• Make a sponge of these ingredients. Beat thoroughly, and when light, add flour to make a soft dough, but one which will not stick to the board. Knead, and let it rise until it is twice its original size; then add:--
• ½ cup butter softened
• ½ cup currants
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg

To prepare this Buns Recipe, first let it rise until light, then shape into small round cakes, and place them in a buttered pan; when light, bake in a moderate oven forty minutes. When the cakes have baked for fifteen minutes, glaze with a mixture of milk and sugar, 1 tablespoon sugar, one-quarter cup of milk, and repeat this every five minutes.

If desired, the currants and spices may be omitted.
