Cook with Mitch: Molasses Buns

Molasses Buns

I understand that people from Newfoundland call these "Lassy Buns"

I love the Mortal and Pestle that Tonya got me for Christmas one year.

It is super heavy, but will it ever do a nice job

All the ingredients into the mixer

Tonya INSISTED that I make ginger bread men

You can see that I did make a few traditional cookies here

Then they PUFFED UP!

1 cup molasses

1 cup melted butter

1/2 cup milk

4 1/2 cups flour

1 cup sugar

2 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp cloves

2 tsp baking soda

1 egg

pinch of Salt

Cookie sheet

Parchment paper

Mixing bowl

Pre-heat the oven to 350 F.

Combine melted butter and molasses and stir, then add milk and egg.

Mix in remaining ingredients, then roll out on a floured surface, to a 1/2 inch thickness.

Cut into desired shapes and place on a greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 F for 15-20 minutes.

Turn out on a wire rack and cool completely.

Comments and suggestions are ALWAYS welcome.
