I've been trying to get in the habit of baking something every Sunday. I used to bake all the time when I first got married, and before that, but after the girls were born it just seemed like there wasn't enough time. My husband has mentioned a few times how much he misses it....(well one more time and I'd refer to it as nagging)
So today, after our "way too early" morning Gymnastics practice with our youngest. I decided to make a batch of Chelsea buns.

Sounds easy right?... Well it is. My mum has made them a hundred thousand times and I have made them hundreds of times. Although I will admit it's been ages since I made any.
I've been cleaning like a mad woman knowing that my reward when I took a break was going to be a nice cuppa and a bun.
My moment arrived, I finally sat and broke off a piece anticipating ambrosia in the form of brown sugar, cinnamon and raisens.
WTFBBQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know what I was thinking, but I put in 4.5t of Baking SODA!!!!!!!
Fuck.
Hubby has gone out and now I have to whip up a fresh batch before he gets home. Because I am not about to admit what I just did.
Another thing, the taste of soda does not leave the back of your throat for a very long time.

oh gag, that is awful. Is the picture the first batch or the second?? they LOOK yummy.....*snicker
please change the recipie to 8 not 6 buns, thanks.
You could drizzle a little icing on the top or would that be gilding the lily?
The picture is one I swiped off the internet LOL.
The first batch looked absoutly incredible, which made the taste all the more horrifying.
The second batch turned into a double batch....I was more tired then I thoguth because I was talking to one of the girls and put in 2 cups of milk. After much internal swearing (when I realized the batter was much too runny) I added all the necessary dry ingred.
Chris came home in the middle of it all. I just simply said I messed up the first batch. When he asked what happened I changed the subject. LOL
In times like this I think you should toss the mistake and try something else later, or run to the store buy them and arrange on a plate (no one will know).
Luv your Sister
