Well, they came out small and hard but the dancers loved them! I cut the recipe in half and converted it to US measurements (and added currants): Soul Cakes
4 c. flour 1 stick butter ½ cup sugar 1 Tbs yeast 1 egg 1 tsp allspice ¾ cup milk ½ c currants
Froth yeast in 1 Tbs milk, 1 T sugar
Mix flour, butter, sugar (minus 1 T.)
Mix yeast mixture with egg, milk & allspice, add to flour mixture. Fold in currants, knead to mix. Set to rise.
Make into “rather flat bunsâ€쳌, rise again for 30 min.
Bake on greased baking sheet at 400F for 5 min., lower to 350F for 10-15 min.
