Some Sexy Buns on a Monday night

As promised! Some long overdue photos! I have so much to update you all on, Venetian steaks, fabulous salsas and guacamole and an impressive dessert. Plus a guest appearance from Gordon's trifle!
Be back soon! xx 







The Monday in question was a scorcher! With Marty determined to make these Swedish buns - they looked amazing on the Jamie does..Sweden episode of the series, I decided I would preserve lemons. No that's not a funny way of saying 'I'll believe it when I see it'. In the Moroccan chapter there was recipe for Preserved Lemons and so I picked up some lemons on special with all intentions of doing it while Marty had a few beers in the sun with the boys!

The lemons didn't make it into the jar until a week later and I'll post some pics of the process soon. I've got a month to find out whether that was a success or not! I followed Marty's adaptation of the original recipe and if it turns out good, bad or otherwise I'm going to make it the Jamie-way as well! Just waiting on another lemon special!

I digress. So super hot day, it was decided the barbeque needed to be lit and some friends popped over for butterflied lamb, new potatoes with loads of parsley (out of the garden!) and butter and a fresh garden salad. Before dinner he'd made the dough up so it could prove and double in size, and once it had cooled down outside he set to making these tasty morsels up.

It has got to be one of the messiest recipes to make, BUT they were worth it. These were the kind of buns I"ve only ever seen in a bakery and would never have imagined they'd be possible at home! Quite simply follow the recipe and instructions completely and you'll end up with Sexy Swedish Buns that look just like they're supposed to!

Heres the recipe http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/bread-recipes/sexy-swedish-buns tell us how you went! I enjoyed mine warm and actually had some ice-cream with it, and the next day I warmed up the leftover half and popped a little butter on it.

Pictures to follow! I still need to put them on the computer :)
