I can’t quite remember exactly what my Pa said when I was innocently looking through one of my recipe books in the kitchen, but it was to the same effect as an ‘uh oh’, and a silent exclaim of ‘what on earth is she going to poison us with now?!!!’.
Well Pops I’ll tell you what I’m going to make- its Coffee bullets….. Ahem, I mean buns!
They are quite tasty- (perhaps a little sweet?) and are quick and easy to make.
I am unable to find a date on the ‘Woman and Home cookery book’, but the recipes still call for dried egg, tell of milk shortages and mention whale meat! So I would put it at wartime to the just post war years.
Because I am useless, and the fact that I baked them alooooong time ago (only now deciding to post!), I have totally forgotten what oven temperature I used and actually how long I baked them for- too long by the look of the picture! What can I say? Tupney and the kitchen just don't mix. (Well, I lie to a point as I can make a rather nice carrot soup and bake extremely yummy cheese straws!) Anyway, I would imagine it would have been at around 200°c in a modern fan oven, but if you decide to try these I would advise you to use your own better judgement on timings and temperature!
