Light Buns

"THEY are light buns, rather like English halfpenny buns in texture. They are very
acceptable served hot as a sweet course and are excellent, too, when cold.
1 pound flour 1, ounce yeast
1 pound mashed potato a little jam
2 ounces white sugar

RUB the cold boiled potato through a seive into the flour. Toss them lightly together.

Cream the yeast and sugar in a small basin; fill up the basin with water and mix
all to a dough, adding more water if necessary. Turn out on a board and knead slightly.
Roll into balls about the size of a golf ball and lay them on a greased baking sheet,
leaving a good two inches between each. Put them in a warm place to rise for fifteen
minutes. Poke each one in the middle with your finger to make a good sized depression.
Pop into a hot oven and bake very quickly until nicely browned. Put a little jam,
syrup or ripe fresh fruit, such as strawberries, into the hollow you made in each bun.
If you want to be very smart, dust over each with sifted sugar.

They rise enormously. They should, if possible, be eaten within twenty-four hours,
as the potato is likely to turn sour. They have not even the smallest hint of the wet
stickiness which is often connected with potato bread.
