Yippee! I am happy to say that this month I got my act together and baked the January BBB bread. This months Kitchen Babe is KAREN (not Lynn, sorry Karen!!!) at Bake My Day, and we traveled to Spain to bake Ensaimadas, an inconspicious looking pastry-like bun which will reveal it's little secret once cut (or bitten into)(In the words of Karen).
These delicious little buns take relatively little time to make. The dough is made with milk and eggs, making it a little bit rich.
Once the dough has risen, circles are thinly rolled and spread with pork fat. I didn't have any on hand, so I used butter.
Roll the circles into cylinders
And coil into a little bun. At this point the buns may rise for 1 hour and up to over night. Mine rose just over 1 hour.
Once baked, sprinkle the buns with powdered sugar.
These were very lovely. I really enjoyed them split and toasted, then spread with some homemade strawberry jam I found in the freezer.
Scott spread one with smoked salmon flavored cream cheese instead of butter, and declared it delicious. I wouldn't know, I hate salmon.
Visit Karen's site for the recipe, and please visit all the Babes (listed over to the right) to see their Ensaimadas. If you'd like to join us as a Bread Baking Buddy, you've got until Feb 25 to get your links to Karen.
Ole!
