Cornish Saffron Bun<\/h2>\n

These buttery yeast-raised buns are from the Cornwall, in the west of England.<\/p>\n

The spice saffron gives the dough a warm yellow color.<\/p>\n

Cinnamon or nutmeg adds a touch of spice to these buns.<\/p>\n

Dried currants and golden raisins are added for extra sweetness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lardy Cake<\/h2>\n

A lardy cake is actually a spiced yeasted bread with currants.<\/p>\n

It is made and served mainly in the south of England.<\/p>\n

It has many names:<\/p>\n

Lardy bread, lardy Johns, dough cake and fourses cake!<\/p>\n

A unique ingredient is lard, used instead of butter.<\/p>\n

People often shy away from lard, an animal fat, but it has been found<\/p>\n

to have a lower proportion of saturated fats than butter!<\/p>\n

This sweet delight is often served at Buckingham Palace events.<\/p>\n

Bara Brith<\/h2>\n

Bara Brith is a bread from Wales that is actually more like a cake.<\/p>\n

In the Welsh language its name means “Speckled Bread”.<\/p>\n

It is made either with yeast or self-rising flour.<\/p>\n

It is flavored with tea, dried fruits and spices.<\/p>\n

Often the dried fruits are soaked in tea before adding to the dough.<\/p>\n

It is a favorite of Prince Charles of England!<\/p>\n

It is served in buttered slices.<\/p>\n

Sally Lunn buns or bread<\/h2>\n

A Sally Lunn is a large bun– or what is often called a teacake in England.<\/p>\n

A yeast dough includes the rich ingredients of cream and eggs, similar to sweet brioche breads of France.<\/p>\n

Sall Lunn is served warm and sliced, with butter– what could be more delicious?<\/p>\n

When made as a large round loaf of bread, it is sliced horizontally, with \u00a0layers filled with clotted cream.<\/p>\n

For an interesting history of this bread and a nice recipe, read HERE<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This charming cafe is the home of the original Sally Lunn bun.<\/p>\n

It is the oldest house in Bath, a town in southwest England, named after the Roman baths that are there.<\/p>\n

Buns can still be bought at this location!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cottage Loaf<\/h2>\n

A British cottage loaf is a white yeasted bread with a unique shape: small loaf is baked on top of a larger loaf.<\/p>\n

One food historian has said that baking this way saved ‘floor space’ in old bread ovens.<\/p>\n

If it is shaped and baked as longer rectangle, still layered, it is known as a “Cottage Brick”.<\/p>\n

It would be fun to make this uniquely shaped bread: a recipe\u00a0HERE<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n
