Obviously, no need to use the syrup, cinnamon, dried fruit/nuts if you prefer toffee spread and chocolate pieces. Almost anything should work.
I still have jars of Christmas mince“meat” that were being given away for pennies in the shops this January. I add extra cinnamon and raisins and slather that on before rolling up the dough.

As yeast is still difficult to get hold of and the weather is getting warmer for many of us, I’d recommend shaving away just a little of the recommended yeast quantity from these milk rolls. Figure out, bit by bit, how much you actually need. It is also possible to make hybrid rolls combining some sourdough starter and less of the dried yeast to help eke out a diminishing supply. This doesn’t apply to gaobest this decade.
oooh fun - I’ll try it. I love cinnamon rolls.
I’m so glad to have bought that extra 2-lb pack of yeast.

I also have a 1 or 2 pound bag of instant yeast and no idea how to use it.

I haven’t actually eaten a crumpet since the 80s despite temptation and I thought that these crumpets looked fine. Wouldn’t we just add butter and jam and then eat them?

I have sort of used electric stoves in travel condos but in general I only have had gas stoves. It never mattered because I never cooked enough until March.

.
what is rice syrup? Would maple syrup be too outrageous? I’ve never really heard of rice syrup or corn syrup but the idea of a sticky top is fun.
