My 18th Century Bath Buns for Jane Austen's Birthday turned out quite well. Excited to try other recipes in this cookbook. 😋

I appreciate the Author's note:
"I want to acknowledge that most of the cakes, gingerbreads, and biscuits in this book would not have existed if not for sugar imports that were made possible due to slavery.......Sugar has a cost, and that cost was paid by those held in bondage.”

Hestapleton Wow what a great note!! 3y

Butterfinger How wonderful that she acknowledged this. 3y

It's Jane Austen's Birthday! I'm going to attempt the Bath Buns recipe. Traditionally eaten for breakfast. I missed that when first reading. Since Jane loved them I'm sure she would be fine with having for afternoon tea. "Jane Austen, who lived in Bath for a while, was a fan of Bath Buns and wrote in 1801 that she would eat herself sick if her sister, Cassandra, did not accompany her during a visit."
