Bath Buns

Bath Buns are sweet, yeasty round buns, topped with crushed sugar cubes and currants. They are a traditional British teatime treat.

Ingredients - Serves 12

Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Let cool until lukewarm.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, yeast, sugar, butter, and eggs. Stir until the yeast is dissolved.
Mix in the flour and salt. Beat well until the mixture forms a smooth, soft dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead in the currants. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, and form into round buns.
Place the buns on the prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
As soon as they come out of the oven, brush the buns with a little milk and sprinkle with crushed sugar cubes. Let cool on a wire rack.
