Ingredients
- 220 gram Whole Milk
- 1 package Yeast
- 125 gram Butter
- 2 Egg
- 9 gram Salt
- 8 gram Sugar
- 500 gram Wheat Flour
Instructions
- Warm milk and butter in a saucepan.
- Crumble the yeast in a bowl and dissolve the yeast in the warm milk and butter.
- Lightly whisk the eggs before adding them to the yeast, salt, and sugar.
- Knead the flour into the dough a little at a time until you have a smooth, light dough.
- Let the dough rise for 30 minutes under a shower cap (or tea towel).
- While the dough is rising, make a cake custard. Here, we have chosen to use a ready-made cake custard.
- Divide the dough into 2, and roll it into balls.
- Roll out the dough and cut 9 squares measuring 10*10 cm.
- Put a tablespoon of cake custard in the middle of each square. It can also be combined with a piece of chocolate or jam.
- Close each square and pinch the edges together well before placing them on a baking sheet with parchment paper, seam side down.
- Bake the Shrovetide buns for 7-10 minutes at 220 degrees Celsius (428 degrees Fahrenheit) with fan.
- Let the Shrovetide buns cool before decorating and serving.
