INSTRUCTIONS
From: Iain G Liddell <Iain.Liddell@brunel.ac.uk> Date: Mon, 17 Jan 1994 12:47:58 +0000 (GMT) From Frances Bissell "The Times Cookbook". London, 1993. ISBN 0701145439 Dough: Mix yeast and milk; allow to work for 10-15 mins. Sift flour and salt into a bowl; rub in butter. Mix in yeast mixture; knead until smooth on floured worktop. Prove in covered oiled bowl until double in bulk. Filling: Mix all ingredients together. Construction: Divide dough into two pieces, size ratio 2:1. Flatten larger piece, and lay filling onto it. Knead filling and dough together until thoroughly incorporated. Roll out smaller dough piece into a circle. Place bun in centre of dough; wrap completely, drawing together edges in the centre of the top with a pinch. Line a cake tin (25-30cm, or 10-12") with greaseproof paper, and invert bun into tin (pinched side down). Cover to prove dough for 30-40 mins. Skewer right through bun several times before glazing with mixed egg yolk and milk. Cooking: 2 hours at 180C / 350F / Gas 4 Eating: Cold, with whisky at New Year, Burns' Night (25 Jan), St Andrews Day (30 Nov) or any other vaguely Scottish excuse.
