    SIX KINDS OF BUNS FROM THE SAME DOUGH!


    Source of Recipe


    Aunt Saunny

    This is a fine dough with a filling that you choose yourself. One batch of dough is enough for approx 25 buns and you can use two fillings per batch if you like - each batch of filling is enough for 1/2 batch of dough.

    Makes approx 25 buns

    1 3/4 oz active compressed yeast
    1/3 cup milk
    scant 2 1/2 cups flour
    7 oz (1 cup) butter or margarine
    1 egg
    1 tbs sugar
    1/4 tsp salt
    grated zest from 1 lemon + 2 tbs juice
    1 egg for brushing

    Dissolve the yeast with some sugar in a little of the warm milk. Leave for about 10 minutes. Chop together fat and flour well or pinch it together with your fingertips, until all fat is well worked in. Beat together egg, sugar,salt and lemon. Pour this into the flour mixture and last stir in the yeast. Work to a smooth dough and let rise, covered, for about 30 minutes.

    Work the dough for a short while on a lightly floured surface and shape the bun or buns you want to make. Put in the filling and leave the buns to rise on a greased baking plate (or more if you need it!) for 20 to 30 minutes.
    Brush with beaten egg and bake on the second shelf from the bottom of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool on a rack under a cloth.


    Remember: Each batch of filling is enough for 1/2 batch of dough as above.

    ORANGE ENVELOPES
    Apelsinkuvert

    Work together 5 oz (2/3 cup) grated almond paste, good 1/2 oz butter or margarine and good 1/2 oz candied, chopped orange peel. Roll out the dough
    to a plate and take out squares, good 3 x good 3" large. Put on the filling and fold together to the shape of envelopes. After baking, you glase the envelopes with some powdered sugar stirred with egg white.

    APPLE CUTS
    Äppelsnittar

    Roll out the dough to an oblong cake. Spread with good 1/3 cup firm applesauce and 3 1/2 oz (1/2 cup) grated almond paste. Sprinkle with good 1/3 cup raisins and roll up. Cut in suitable pieces and put in paper oraluminum tins, cut side up.

    ALMOND CUTS
    Mandelsnittar

    Roll out the dough as in the recipe for Apple Cuts above. Spread with a filling of 1 3/4 oz butter or margarine, 2 tbs sugar, 1 tsp ground cardamom and 2 - 3 tbs finely chopped almonds. Put the buns in paper or aluminum tins, brush with egg and sprinkle with some more chopped almonds.

    ORANGE ROLLS
    Apelsingifflar

    Roll out the dough to an oblong cake and take out triangles. Put a dollop of orange marmalade on each and roll up towards the "peak".

    NUT BUNS
    Nötbullar

    Roll out as in Apple Cuts and spread with a filling of 1 3/4 oz butter or margarine, 2 tbs sugar, 1 tbs rolled oats and 1 3/4 oz ground nuts. Roll up and cut the roll in 3/4" long pieces. Make a deep cut in each bun and put them on the plate.

    NOUGAT CAVES

    Roll out to an oblong plate and take out 4" squares. Cut 5 oz soft nougat in pieces. Work together good 1/3 cup chopped walnuts, 1 tbs melted butter or margarine and 2 tbs sugar. Put on the nougat and the nut mixture and fold to envelopes, well pinched together in the opening. Put them, seamside down, on the plate. After baking, decorate with the same icing as the Orange Envelopes.
