Home made Chelsea buns from our local baker who did ALL his baking on the premises.

Mum would go to his shop early on a Friday morning and buy two .still warm. buns for myself and sister to take to work with a fresh roll each for our lunch .

Dad got paid on a Thursday so mum had her new weeks housekeeping. We didnt need a dinner when we got home later

They were delicious

OOOOH Chelsea Buns are delicious, Whirled around light pastry type with some spice and currents and topped with some sugar crystals Was sort of a dough pastry.

Never had as good ones as out local baker made ,

I do sometimes succumb at the supermarket but they always disappoint
