This was our special bedtime snack together. I had no idea this was a Menno tradition.

Having spent a great deal of time with her growing up I now find myself dipping my toast, muffins and even apple fritters in my tea!

I have been suffering from post partum depression and my family has been suffering from take-out. But today I felt good. And everyone knew it when they smelled these buns baking.

The recipe actually calls for 3 risings which I've never done. But I should have stated that I only let it rise once.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18214584150711242076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-7755584601694626132008-07-18T13:19:00.000-07:002008-07-18T13:19:00.000-07:00Betty, I just had to tell you that after seeing yo...Betty, I just had to tell you that after seeing your sugar buns, and it being close to lunch and all . . . well, I had to do something I hadn't done for a long time. I enjoyed a nice bun dipped in coffee and sugar. It had to be healthy - it tasted so good! Some foods just taste good because of remembering how much you enjoyed it as a kid!Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288355284573379421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-54969179332658501742008-07-18T12:05:00.000-07:002008-07-18T12:05:00.000-07:00Betty, these buns look perfect! And the sugar buns...Betty, these buns look perfect! And the sugar buns, well, I think I'll need to do a small pan like that next time, even if it's just for two! When we were kids, we would dip our freshly baked bun in milk or coffee (yes, coffee - I've had it since I was very, very young)and then sugar - oh, so good!One tid-bit of advice for any new bakers, I've found that not every yeast likes to be "punched down and rise again" - may be the instant kind - the yeast works great, as long as you rise once and then again on the sheets before baking.<BR/>(I don't mind the time saver.)Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288355284573379421noreply@blogger.com
