Recipe Introduction
recipe by Queen Dragon Mom
This is an old, old, old recipe. I have tried to update it as much as possible. (I really don't know what "strong" flour is, though?) Prep time includes time for rising.
12 buns

1 lb strong white flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/2 ounce fresh yeast
2 ounces caster sugar
2 ounces melted butter

1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 egg yolk, beaten
