Shrove Tuesday Buns for the Bread Machine
Not just for Shrove Tuesday, this traditional Swedish treat also makes a lovely, rich dessert for other occasions.
Using the dough cycle of a bread machine makes these a cinch to make.Makes: 12 buns
1/4 cup warm water
2 eggs
2/3 cup light cream
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar (can be reduced to 1/8 cup)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 1/4 cup flour
2 tsp yeast (1 packet)
Almond paste
Whipped cream
Powdered sugar
Optional: Milk, more cinnamon
Place water, 1 egg, cream, butter, sugar, salt and cinnamon in bottom of bread machine pan. Add flour, and sprinkle yeast in last. Set bread machine for dough cycle, and let it go.
When dough cycle is done, take dough out and divide into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round bun and place on a greased baking sheet. Cover with a clean towel and let rise in warm place for 1 hour.
After they've risen, brush tops of buns with remaining egg, beaten. Bake in 400F oven for 10-12 min, or until tops are just turning a nice, golden brown. Let cool or serve warm as is.
Traditional method of serving is to cut top off buns and place a thin slice of almond paste on the cut surface along with a good dollop of whipped cream. Replace the top and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Eat this way or, to be even more decadent, serve the whole thing in a bowl with milk and more cinnamon sprinkled over the top.
