Cafe Cartago

Specialty Recipe

English Coffee Cinnamon Buns

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted

2 Tablespoons baking powder

pinch of salt

2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon

6 ounces currants

3/4 cup butter

3/4 cup caster sugar (superfine)

2 eggs, beaten

2 ounces essence of Cafe Cartago (see recipe)

1/2 pint (1 cup) milk (approximate)

beaten egg

Mix flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and currants. Cut in the butter until mixture is crumbly. Mix in sugar and add 2 beaten eggs, coffee essence, and enough milk to make a fairly stiff consistency. Shape into small rounds, brush with beaten egg or milk. Place on greased baking sheet. Top with additional currents, if desired, and bake at 475 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.

Variation: Coffee-Cherry Buns. Chop 1/2 pound glace (candied) cherries, setting some aside for decoration. Add to dry ingredients and top each bun with a whole cherry.

Note: for superfine sugar, process regular sugar in food processor using knife blades.
