I'm running a Samhain Singing Session at the Clé Club in Dublin on Wed. I'd love to bake these Soul cakes, but I'm no baker so I need some more information if you can help.
Three pounds flour (Plain flour?) half pound sugar (caster sugar or granulated?) two spoonsful of yeast (what brand do you use?) allspice to taste, (Approx how much?) sufficient new milk to make it into a light paste. (what consistancy)
brush the buns with a mixture of milk and sunflower oil in equal quantities before their second rising (I don't understand second rising) and immediately before baking, then give them 5 mins at 200C and 15 mins at 180C.
