Lassy Buns
3 cups flour
½ cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon, optional
¼ teaspoon cloves, optional
½ cup molasses
½ cup butter
½ cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
How to make it:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients together, mixing well. Lay aside.
In a small microwave-proof bowl, combine molasses, butter and milk. Microwave 40 seconds or until butter is starting to melt. Stir until everything is combined. The mixture should not be hot. If it is let cool. Add egg and vanilla and beat together until combined.
Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the molasses mixture. Gently mix until everything is combined in a soft dough.
Turn dough out onto a well floured surface and gently knead 3 or 4 times to bring the dough together. Pat dough out into a rectangle or circle about an inch high. Using a well floured biscuit cutter cut out the buns and lay on parchment paper lined cookie sheet. You may have the buns touching for soft sides or leave a little space between for crusty sides.
Bake 12-15 minutes.
Makes about 20 small buns or 15 medium.
½ cup of raisins may be added to the batter for Lassy Raisin Buns.
