Currant Buns

 Thank you Barbara and Rob for sharing this traditional air bun recipe from Rob's Mom, Kath Furness who fed a LARGE family with these yummy buns.  This old fashioned farm recipe was initially double these amounts.....with 9-10 cups of flour.  It calls for lard..........which previous generations routinely used in bread and bun recipes.  Butter was perhaps more of a luxury item.

I have attached the original handwritten recipe as it's a great example of handwriting of past generations.

Barbara made and served these buns on their 
sailboat "Catalyst" as we joined them on a "Pursuit Race" on Sylvan Lake.  There were moments of calm when we were able to enjoy these currant buns as a "Sailing Treat".
