Famous Secret Chelsea Buns

Lynne says it's an old family recipe, with secret ingredients.

The family says it's the best chelsea buns on the planet.  Possibly this side of Alpha Centauri.

They certainly vanish, almost like magic...

One of the best things about a cottage is that you are in control of your meals -- often a huge bonus when a passle of grandchildren are involved. Nobody has to dress up, or get in a car, or wait for service...  nobody has to comb the menu to see if there is something there, anything at all, that the picky eaters will eat...

Not that there is any shortage of restaurants about, for those who want to get away from cooking duties, but it really is quite lovely to be able to whip up something for breakfast and lunch.  And in between -- like Lynne's fabulous chelsea buns.
