    Well I used the Delia white loaf recipe to make one 1lb loaf and the rest I rolled out flat, spread with melted marge, sprinkled with sugar, cinnamon, raisins and then rolled up and cut into rounds (like thritflady suggests as bread whirls).

    OH didn't believe I made them, he thought I'd bought them :p:D

    Thanks thriftlady - though my waistline may not be thanking you later :p;):D

    Yeah but I thought chelsea buns had a slightly different dough recipe than normal bread? Thought it was sweeter and softer than the ones I've made? :confused:

    Yup proper chelsea buns definitely have a different dough recipe ;)http://www.hovisflour.co.uk/recipe/showrec10.htm

    with a tablespoon? :p

    Sorry that's not helpful:rotfl:

    Just googled and found a butter converter

    it suggests 4 tbspns would be 56.7 grammes, or half = 28.35g. Does that help? I keep my butter at room temp, so it is easy enough to measure using a spoon (if you keep it in the fridge, i assume that's what's making you wonder?!)

    Let us know how you get on.
    A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:
