Uganda baking - thumb buns

This was another from John's mum. Probably not our favourite- I'm not sure I did them the right size or had them in the oven quite the right time or had enough jam with them. Still they were fun to try though and the name entertained us! 

Thumb Buns   You may have made these at Manor.  Good for making with G? Recipe from Golden Anniversary Cookbook from a school I was at before I was married!
 
Guaranteed Success!! Thats what it says!   Gas 4
 
Half the fat to flour   Same amount of sugar as fat   a little water   jam or chopped fruit


 
Add sugar to flour in a bowl. Mix with fingertips. Cut marg into small pieces rub into flour mixture Add a little water .mix into a ball .Make into balls of same size. put on greased baking tray leaving spaces around each one .Make a thumb hole in each one. Put in fruit or jam. Or leave this until they are cooked.
Bake until golden brown.

    1. Thank you! I hope to make some for you when we are back - what do you fancy?! I made the lemon cake in New Zealand this week and it was nice to refer to the blog for the recipe.
