jam filled sweet rolls

Hey guys.

I made some jelly buns. But, I can’t call them that.

It sounds like jiggly butts.

Do you like my other name better? Me too.

But, before I begin that- let me tell you ~~how I have no life~~ about my new site. You see that link up there? “The Domestic Mama”? Well, most of you guys know that I first started my blog as The Domestic Mama, and then I switched to WordPress, and didn’t think I could keep that name. (I know…DUH I could have) Anyway, in getting feedback I have heard two things- most people looking for food/recipes wouldn’t go to a site by that name. But… it’s a fun name and it fits me. So, I created a site just for all the random stuff. There will be weekly posts on “what’s in my fridge” and “what we ate” along with projects, gardening- cheap ways to entertain kids…domestic stuff, you know.

No I am not trying to be all “pioneer woman”. I don’t have contributing editors…I just have two domain names and a lot going on in my noggin. Fun stuff you guys may enjoy.

So go check it out. That’s an order. Please. With a cherry on top.

Back to buns:

I started with a basic hot roll mix, because I didn’t feel like measuring out flour. It’s true. I added a teaspoon of vanilla and 1/4 c sugar to make it sweeter. I shaped it into apricot sized balls, and after they rose, they were peach sized.

I got this jam at the market, the “vanilla” snagged me. Mmmm. Vanilla.

To fill the buns, I used a Wilton #230 tip.

Am I telling you to go out and buy one? Heck, yes! You can fill cupcakes with it, too. And, it’s under $3.00.

Mmm, see what happens? They taste like a baked jelly doughnut.

Want a behind the scenes of this shot?

Okay, I just want to show off my new “thing”, you caught me.

On the left, that’s a light diffuser, and it collapses into a little compact circle.

Yay.

I’m a sucker for photography stuff on Ebay.
