900g (2lb) Strong Plain Flour

300ml (½ pint) Water, tepid

300ml (½ pint) Milk

75g (3oz) Margarine or Butter

40g (1½oz) Fresh Yeast (or equivalent Dried Yeast)

1 tbsp Salt

1 tsp Sugar

Pre-heat oven to 220°C: 425°F: Gas 7.

Dissolve the sugar in a little of the water and use to mix the yeast into a smooth thin paste, then add to the remaining water.

Allow to stand in a warm place until it becomes frothy.

Sieve the flour and salt into a large bowl.

Rub the margarine (or butter) lightly into flour, until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Make a well in the centre of the flour and pour in the liquid.

Mix together well and then knead for at least 5 minutes, until it becomes a smooth, elastic dough.

If too moist add a little more flour, if too firm add a little more liquid.

Shape into a ball and place in a warmed lightly greased bowl, coverand leave in a warm place for 45-60 minutes to allow it to rise.

Turn out on to a floured surface and knock out all of the air, knead lightly .

Divide the dough into portions, then roll into oval buns.

Make a hole in the centre of each bun, pierce with a fork in a few places.

Place on baking sheets.

Bake in the top of the oven for 12-18 minutes, depending on the size.

Test with a skewer, if it comes out clean they are done.
