Classic Irish sweet buns. Eat hot, and
'do be careful' not to drip the butter on your clothes!
Do Be Careful Tea
Cakes
1/2 ounce dried yeast
1/2 cup warm water
3 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
4 large eggs, well beaten
Mix yeast with water and 1 cup flour in
a small bowl. Cover with a clean cloth and leave in a warm place
for 10 to15 minutes to form a sponge.
Add the yeast mixture to the rest of the
flour, salt and sugar. Add in the other ingredients, mix well
and turn out on a floured surface. Knead until dough is smooth
and elastic.
Divide the dough into 16 balls. Place
them on lightly greased baking sheets and leave in a warm place
covered with a damp cloth for 20 minutes to allow them to rise.
Brush with beaten egg before putting them
into the oven.
Bake at 400°F (205°C) for 20 minutes
or until nicely browned.
Yield: 16 buns.
