Classic Irish sweet buns.

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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Brush with beaten egg before putting them into the oven.
5. Bake at 400*F (205*C) for 20 minutes or until nicely browned.

Yield: 16 buns

Note: Eat hot, and "do be careful" not to drip the butter on your clothes!
