These turned out great! After reading some reviews on how large they were I made 24 buns, instead of 12. I followed some other suggestions and did an egg yolk & cream wash to give them a nice glaze, then a royal icing to make the crosses. I used my kitchen aid mixer, if you’ve got any experience making bread this is a sure fire winner. The sizes are a bit uneven, but my daughter had fun helping.
I have made this for several ladies nights out, to rave reviews. To those who complain that it tastes "too watermelon like", this is not the recipe for you. If a refreshing watermelon cocktail will make your world a happier place, this is for you.
I've been making & sharing this recipe for years. It is a perfect electric pressure cooker recipe, no need to pre-soak the beans that way! Instruction adjustment would be to cook beans, making sure there is still plenty of water, then add veggies & spices. Authentic Cajun sausage is great, unless you are feeding small people, then any smoked sausage will do. This freezes well, so make enough to put aside some to reheat in a few weeks
This was fabulous! I was doing a "dinner in a hurry" and used fresh OJ, but botteled Lemon & Lime juices. I added a little orange zest to brighten the flavor and a bit of ginger for kick. And I thickened with a little corn starch. My hubby and I both loved it and I will be making this regularly.
Good recipe, but it did get a little brown on the outside. Next time I may cover the top with foil for the 2nd half of baking. Also the vanilla and cinnamon or cardamom add an extra boost for those who like richer food, but without it's good too and is a hit with kids who prefer more bland foods.
