 Lehman s was a day late and a dollar short - yesterday was Sally Lunn bun Round 2. Howver it was a good lead in for today

Swept through the CBC on line sections. In brief, the numbers are 19 F feels like 10. Approx 3/4 to a foot of snow spread over 20 h til Tues AM late ish. Health experts are advising against taking pain killers pre vaccination.
Obviously, for the 99 % of Canadians un - vaccinated yet, timely. For the U.K., its like Lehman s dollar short business

Alrighty, tell us about Round 2. I was efficient. Mostly. I turned the oven on early to warm the kitchen < yeast things rise better at 85 F >. I created the ideal rising oven in a microwave using a bean bag warmer and a large bowl of hot water. I had all ingredients out on the counter. The only improvement would be to pre - melt the butter < that step took longer than I thought >.
The proof is in the pudding, analysis.
Sally Lunn 2 was lighter, less crusty and slightly sweetish. I had cut down pre- set baking time from 38 min to 34. And in fact, on checking w/ a toothpick actually pulled out Sally L2 at 30 min or so. Please recall that I had halved the original recipe. The overall effect was excellent.

In final overview. Success. However, I'm sort of glad that I didn't try Sally Lunn in Bath. Its taken me several tries to find the appropriate accompaniment to Sally L.

I tried honey, honey and cinmmon, strawberry jam and butter and jam. The winner by far : strawberry jam w/ vanilla yoghurt. The yoghurt adds a second flavour and makes the whole experience more moist. I'm also wondering if corn syrup might do the trick. It is pure invert sugar but I grew up using Beehive golden corn syrup. Corn syrup is my go to for pancakes and French toast.
