"I think baking is very rewarding. If you follow a good recipe you will get success." -Mary Berry (from the Great British Baking show)
SALLY LUNN
I love the name "Sally Lunn" . An old world style bread, made in a sponge format that is very light. Sort of like a brioche. One of my favourite quotes from a very old cook book I have says :" Sally Lunn is turned out to greet a hungry world......"
MIX: 1 tsp, ½ cup warm,2 ¼ tsp yeast
BEAT: ½ cup softened, 3
eggs, ½ cup sugar. Add yeast mix.
Beat all of this on medium.
ADD: 4 cups flour, pinch salt, 1 cup warm milk.
Put in greased bowl. Cover and let stand on top of a warm oven
till doubled in bulk.
"I think baking's far easier than cooking, and because of that, it's approachable." -Paul Hollywood ( from the Great British baking show)
POUR
into greased angel food cake pan
Let stand another hour till doubled in size.
BAKE
in 350 oven for about 40-50 minutes till golden
Turn out and serve to face a hungry world!
Very good toasted, and served with creamed honey and butter.
A 1780 guidebook to Bath, records tourists drinking two to three pints of Bath water
( supposed to be healing), then sitting down to Sally Lunn buns. In the novel " The Chimes" by Charles Dickens he mentions the partaking of Sally Lunn. SO it's a famous spongy bread, that seems to make the rounds.
