Chelsea bun

It is believed that this classic English dessert was invented at the London's Chelsea Bun House in the 18th century. The bun is made with a rich egg-based yeast dough flavored with lemon peel, and either cinnamon or mixed spice. Before baking, the dough is smeared with a combination of butter, brown sugar and currants.


A perfect tea-time treat, Chelsea bun is typically enjoyed warm, cut into slices and smeared with even more butter.
