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

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.
