Ingredients

Buns

  • 3 cups all purpose flour plus 1 tablespoon additional for flouring hands and risen dough
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tsps quick rise yeast
  • 2 tablespoon fine sugar (granulated not icing sugar)
  • 3 Tbsps butter melted
  • 1 cup + 3 Tbsps whole milk

Filling

  • 1 cup whipped cream or devonshire cream
  • ½ cup jam
  • icing sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Mix flour, salt and sugar together until evenly distributed.
  • Combine milk and melted butter and microwave a minute or so. Milk should be hot to the touch but not boiling.
  • Add ingredients to your bread machine in order recommended by manufacturer. Mine is liquid on the bottom, flour mix and yeast on top. (see Note 1 below for hand kneading instructions).
  • After dough cycle is complete ( end of first rise for manual method) heat your oven to 390 degrees F. Line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper.
  • Use the extra flour to transfer dough to a work surface. Divide the dough into even portions. You can go with anywhere from 6 to 16 portions depending on the size of portion you want. ( I like to weigh my dough when halving and quartering to get evenly sized portions)
  • Shape each portion into an oblong shape with any seams on the underside.
  • Transfer buns to the baking sheet(s) evenly spaced. Do not crowd. Cover with a clean tea towel and allow to rise for 30 minutes.
  • Bake about 15 minutes until buns are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped. Allow to cool completely.
  • Just before serving, split the buns horizontally.
  • Slather a row of jam into the bottom of the bun. Pipe cream into the hollow to fill and pipe or drizzle more jam along the top. Dust with icing sugar.

Notes

Note 1:  If not using a bread machine combine flour, salt.  Add in yeast and sugar and mix. Add hot milk and use a stand mixer to mix for 5 or 6 minutes or knead by hand about 10 minutes until dough is elastic but sticky.
Transfer dough to an oiled bowl. Cover with a clean cloth and allow to rise for about 1 hour, til doubled in size.
