How to Make the Great Old Fashioned English Chelsea Bun

[@merledawnbackler2360]

From Durban, Natal, South Africa. Husband & I were raised and grew up in The Union of SA. We loved Chelsea Buns with a 1/4 pint of milk from the Tuck Shop at "Big Break". Your recipe has every, single taste, flavour and texture I very clearly remember. There certainly are Chelsea Buns available but they're not absolutely right. Thank you Philip, for your recipe! Regards, Mike and Merle Backler.

Just made these tonight following your recipe and instructions exactly and they came out great!! Super soft and delicious! Will absolutely make again!

[@CulinaryExploration]

Really pleased you enjoyed the recipe :)

[@andreac0261]

Just baked , only one word: Amazing.. perfect recipe man!

[@kosmickoala]

These look so good. You can't go wrong with cinnamon and raisins.

[@CulinaryExploration]

And the butter really helps too..... :)

[@saralindley4079]

This looks delicious and something easy enough to try. I bet they would go well with a nice cup of Earl Grey.

[@CulinaryExploration]

I bet you are right about that! :)

[@richardfrisby4039]

These look amazing, I love Chelsea buns that have a good height to them. Defo going to give these a try. Thanks for posting.

[@Lanise-m24r]

I use to love these buns but they dont have them anymore in the supermarket. I suppose I ll have to make my own. Thanks for the recipe.

[@Jack38601]

Bread master is back at it again!!

[@CulinaryExploration]

Hey! Hope all is well with you :)

[@benroberts536]

thanks philip you are a legend my mum loved the buns :)

[@CulinaryExploration]

Cheers, always good to know that a Mum has approved! They are tasty little buns :)

[@hamidab7167]

Excellent instructions!!

[@perrymcguire3806]

Great video and tips on how to make the underrated Chelsea Bun. Personally, I prefer adding the honey-based glaze but not the icing sugar - the buns are so good that for me, the icing sugar compromises the delicate mixed spices of these terrific homely buns

[@CulinaryExploration]

I love the Chelsea bun, I can't believe they don't get more press! Thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@zandilesebatlelo3000]

Thank you,I am gonna try to make them

[@gglendinningok]

went for your recipe after looking at various others & glad i did, just made them, & there Fabtastic delicious, & i didn't even use any milk, was getting fed up with the usual things i've been baking and wanted some new tasty items, this will be a regular for me now, thanking U

[@CulinaryExploration]

That's great Graeme, pleased you enjoyed the recipe :)

[@DanAyrton19]

Made these today Philip. Incredible recipe. Whose Paul Hollywood again? Getting more and more confident with dough. Thanks again

[@CulinaryExploration]

LOLOLOL - Ill take that as a huge compliment, maybe I'll get a guest slot on the Great British Bake Off LOL. Pleased you are enjoying your baking.

[@SqwarkParrotSpittingFeathers]

Can't buy them around here anymore. I'm here because I realised I'll have to bake them myself. Thank you for the lesson.

[@Nina5144]

Great video - I’ve just made some Chelsea buns from a different recipe and I know where I went wrong after watching you - I didn't take enough time rolling out my dough and I didn’t spread the filling evenly and some oozed out. Mine were tasty but messy. Must try your recipe. Thank you

[@CulinaryExploration]

Glad the video helped. Let me know how you get on with this method :)

[@lianaukema84]

Looks delicious!😋 I’m gonna try to bake these!! Thanks for the recipi!!

[@CulinaryExploration]

Hope you enjoy and let me know how you get on!

[@NotThreeFoxesInATrenchCoat]

Thank you, you helped me with my home economics homework

[@CulinaryExploration]

That's great, really pleased I could help with some homework!

[@leelanarinesingh8022]

I love that cbuns. 😍🇹🇹

[@mirimec4697]

Ti amo Philip!!!!!

[@CulinaryExploration]

Hey! How are you? Cheers for touching base :)

[@jimstewart1044]

Wow! I have been doing sticky sourdough for the past several months, but I'm going to have to give that up to try this! I've not heard of a Chelsea bun (showed how "cultured" I am 😳). This looks like a common rolls grown up brother. Thank you for sharing.

[@CulinaryExploration]

Haha, give it a whirl, you'll love it, keep me updated :)

[@TheArteditors]

very nice and inspiring, I was watching Mary Berry on KZbin making these from the 70s the other day, cool

[@CulinaryExploration]

That's a blast from the past

[@alexo382]

That looks awesome man! Definitely gonna try :D

[@CulinaryExploration]

It's a wicked little sticky bun, you'll love it!

[@kathymaxted9485]

Great recipe

[@fabianwylie8707]

Fantastic video and brilliant introductions. Cheers 👨‍🍳❤️👍

[@CulinaryExploration]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@TapiTTwala]

You are handling that dough well. Love those hands!😂😂

[@CulinaryExploration]

LOL, cheers

[@zandilesebatlelo3000]

I tried them,so delicious

[@gloriaabraham8534]

Great Chelsea Bun recipe, I really want to try it but I've not seen buttermilk sold in any of the supermarkets?

[@AndrewMadeAFilm]

These look amazing!

[@CulinaryExploration]

Cheers bud

[@callumfreebairn8082]

delicious. great for brekky

[@callumfreebairn8082]

thanks

[@EverydayHomecooking]

I never like buying store bought Chelsea burns but homemade definitely sound better.

[@CulinaryExploration]

Let me know if you give them a go :)

[@danismagic2]

Wow! Your recipe looks really, really good. I will try it for sure. Thank you very much for sharing it with us 😊 ( By the way, I have tried last weekend your "bangers recipe". One word: Great recipe, very well balanced with spices. It's delicious 😉)

[@CulinaryExploration]

Awesome, pleased you gave the bangers a go. That recipe percentages make it easy to alter if you need to adjust the seasoning. Let me know how you get on with this one :)

[@danismagic2]

I will for sure :-) Thanks for sharing your fine recipes !

[@arch1752]

Brilliant, thank you x

[@anitafoldvarszki3631]

Bravó end perfect! 😋❤🙌

[@YuliSayuri]

Looks delicious! Could you tell how to adjust the recipe with sourdough starter? (Maybe need another video..?)

[@CulinaryExploration]

That's definitely another video! :)

[@silvermoon3486]

Very nice 😊❤👍🏼

[@LH-minis]

Can you make these using sourdough starter and yeast?

[@brucenichols9153]

Must try this

[@CulinaryExploration]

Let me know how you get on Bruce

[@candaceslager]

Hi! I’m wondering if there’s a way to make part of this recipe the night before then continue the next morning? 🧐I would like to make them for my work colleagues but as much as I like them, I don’t think I like them enough to get up so early to do the rising! 😂 thank you

[@tonyb83]

Thanks I'm going to make them. Q1.How long do they last before they go stale? Q2.Can they be frozen? Q3.Is the buttermilk necessary? Q4.Is there a substitute for buttermilk? Q5. Is the milk skimed, semiskimed or full fat mikl? Thanks Tony

[@BTs-he1lg]

Philip, the buns are so yummy! my husband said he will eat them for dinner, hahaha. I was worried the spices might be overpowering but actually I love it better than just cinnamon buns. Only have all spice, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon and cloves on hand, will add rest of spices and enough zest next time, kind of short. I soaked the dried fruit for 30 mins to soften and used the bread machine to knead the dough with butter for 6 mins. Will you be making scones? Thanks Becky. PS. Very nice opening music

[@CulinaryExploration]

Cheers Becky, really pleased they turned out well. I LOVE the spice mix, it works really well! Nice touch soaking the dried fruit. I will definitely be making scones!

[@gloriaabraham8534]

Hi, what size egg should be used?

[@sunnysunny1405]

Would you recommend to make this with a stand mixer for someone with a small workspace and little confidence with sticky bread dough? :P

[@CulinaryExploration]

Yes of course, that would be absolutely fine. Let me know how you get on :)

[@sunnysunny1405]

@@CulinaryExploration Pic: postimg.cc/TL7RFDyB did it! Had to improvise a bit, used a mixer (went slowly and increased the speed, did a total of 4min) didn't have all the spices so I used cinnamon, allspice, and cloves, made do with my round cake pans and baked for 30min. Fresh out the oven, it's jiggly like a pudding :D thank you for sharing the recipe and filming the process

[@cooldude2512]

Is this flour strong white bread Flour plain flour or self raising flour 🤔

[@merledawnbackler2360]

Strong white flour. (Used with yeast, easy to remember. I just check for yeast because flour names change with global location. Hope this helps. 😊

[@merledawnbackler2360]

Oops ... used in making bread.
