MOLASSES (LASSIE) BUNS



Molasses (Lassie) buns image

I brought this recipe home from Newfoundland, where my family was vacationing. It's a very robust soft cookie (not really buns) recipe and reflects the robust life on the big island. It is especially good eaten warm right out of the oven, but keeps well. Great for the winter holidays (lots of spice). If you like ginger snaps,...

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c dark molasses
1 c warm water
1 stick butter
1 c white or brown sugar
5 1/2 c all purpose flour
4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon, ground
1 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp allspice, ground
1/2 tsp clove, ground
1/8 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all dry ingredients. Cut in butter and mix until lumps of butter have been broken up and well-distributed. Make a well in the middle of the mixture and add the molasses. Mix well, adding the warm water as needed.
  • 2. Flour a cutting board or flat countertop and roll dough out to desired thickness (I usually roll it out to about 3/8" thick.) Take a large glass and, using the rim, cut out large circles. Turn them onto a greased cookie sheet.
  • 3. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees F. (Time depends on the oven. I never go over 15 minutes and cookies remain soft). Recipe makes about 4 dozen large cookies. I generally halve all the ingredients to make a smaller batch.

MOLASSES GOLDEN RAISIN BREAD



Molasses Golden Raisin Bread image

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h25m

Yield 1 loaf, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup milk, warm but not hot
1/4 cup molasses
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup golden seedless raisins

Steps:

  • Add all the ingredients except the raisins to the breadmaker and run on the dough cycle, for my breadmaker this is the order given and the dough cycle lasts 90 minutes. Note: I like to mix the warm water, milk and molasses and "proof" the yeast in it for about 10 minutes before adding the remaining ingredients.
  • When the dough cycle has finished start it again, and add the raisins, let it run for 5 to 10 minutes to mix all the raisins in and then stop it.
  • Make dough into a smooth loaf and place in a greased 9" x 5" loaf pan.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let raise until doubled.
  • Bake in a preheated 350F oven about 35-45 minutes, loaf should be golden and sound hollow when tapped.

Tips:

  • Choose the right molasses: Use unsulphured molasses for the best flavor. Sulphured molasses has a bitter taste that can overpower the other ingredients.
  • Proof the yeast: This step ensures that the yeast is active and will produce a light and fluffy dough. To proof the yeast, dissolve it in warm water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. If the yeast is active, it will foam up and double in size.
  • Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which gives the buns a chewy texture. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough to double in size. A warm place is about 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. You can also place the dough in a turned-off oven with a bowl of hot water at the bottom.
  • Shape the dough into buns: Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place it on a greased baking sheet.
  • Let the buns rise again: Let the buns rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
  • Bake the buns: Bake the buns in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Enjoy! Molasses lassie buns are best served warm with butter and honey.

Conclusion:

Molasses lassie buns are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their soft and chewy texture, sweet and tangy flavor, and hints of cinnamon and nutmeg, these buns are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give molasses lassie buns a try. You won't be disappointed!
