Sweet Cream Buns
I won't get into the train of thought that brought me here, but I've never heard of these until tonight and they sound so good. Just the name sounds yummy.
Cream buns
1 ts Sugar
1/4 c Lukewarm water
1 Envelope dry yeast
4 Eggs
1 c Tablecream
1/2 c Corn syrup
3 ts Salt
2 c Hot water
10 c All-purpose flour
Melted butter
1/3 c Half and half
2 tb Sugar
Dissolve sugar in lukewarm water, add yeast and let stand 10 minutes. Beat eggs until foamy and add cream, syrup and salt. Stir in hot water. When mixture is lukewarm add yeast and 1/3 of the flour.
Beat 2 minutes with an electric mixer. Add remaining flour and knead until smooth. Place in a buttered bowl and grease the top with butter. Cover and let rise 1 hour in a warm place.
Mix down and let rise again 1/2 hour. Punch down an cut dough into 48 pieces. Form into buns and place well apart on greased cookie sheets or shallow bake pans. Brush tops with melted butter. Let rise 1 hour. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes or until light brown at 375F. Meanwhile, mix half and half and sugar together. Brush tops with this mixture and return to the oven for 5 minutes. Buns may be cooled and frozen. Reheat to serve.
Makes: 4 dozen.
I've also found a variation that involves sugar and half and half along with lemon curd stuffed into a slit in the top. nnnngh.
