with fruit, of course!!! (well, essence or grated rind is fine)
I've tried so many and Delia's is the closest, but it's still not great. This post has been edited by Spartacus: 05/04/2012, 12:50 PM |

Glad everyone enjoyed the Dan lepard buns! Honestly, this guys has changed my life. I want to start a dan lepard fan club!
I just use Guinness. You're supposed to use a milk stout but try are a by boutique and even though my local bottle shop sells one, it's only in 750 ml lots and $13... And who is going to drink the rest? So a $4 can of guinness for me! The fruit/stout/flour mix should be sloppy not dry - you only put in part of the flour at the start... Up early to make his new cider hot cross buns for today... Can't wait! |

QUOTE (MsN @ 06/04/2012, 06:58 AM)  The fruit/stout/flour mix should be sloppy not dry - you only put in part of the flour at the start... Oh dear, I think I am in trouble then! Mine was very dry. I have just put the rest together and it is still dry and I am having trouble making it stick together. When I measure out the remaining 550gm of flour from my 1kg box there was hardly any left - well under the 125gm that should have remained - so I must have mucked up the initial flour weight.  I didn't add it all at this step though, so I still have about 100gm flour remaining. I have added a few tspns of stout to try and improve the texture. Fingers crossed it works.I did wait for the head to die back before I measured. |
