Ingredients:

• 375g butter
• 500g sugar
• 2 extra large eggs
• 1,5kg self-raising flour
• 30ml (2 tablespoons) baking powder
• 500ml (2 cups) buttermilk or plain drinking yogurt
• Instructions on how to make it
• Preheat oven to 180°C.

How to:

• Cream the butter and sugar together very well.
• Add the eggs, one at a time.
• Sift the flour and baking powder together, and add this to the creamed mixture, using a fork to mix.
• Add the buttermilk or yoghurt, and a dash of milk.
• Mix well with a fork and then knead lightly.
• Pack lightly rolled, golf ball sized buns of the dough into the greased bread pans close together, and bake for 45-55 minutes. Place the pans in the middle of the oven, with a sheet of brown paper on the top shelf to protect the buns from becoming browned too quickly.
• Remove the paper after the buns are well risen and cooked through, to brown the tops.
• Reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting.
• Turn out the buns on to cake racks, cool and separate, using 2 forks; pack onto wire racks or  cooled oven racks , then place in cool oven, leaving the door ajar, for 4-5 hours, or overnight, to dry out.
