A chelsea bun is a bun...hmm how doyou describe it....I suppose the nearest equvilant is a Cinnamon sweet sticky buns. And I suppose gammon would be on par with your smoked ham, gammon is actually leg of pork. |

This is a fairly good description of a Chelsea Bun - they are enriched dough with fruit (not sure about candied peel, as I don't like that much!) "An individually-sized yeast-cake, filled with a mixture of dried and candied peel. They were particularly popular during the 18th and 19th century, when London's 'Chelsea Bun House' was a favourite meeting place." They are sort of rolled up a bit like a Swiss roll ......... and are generally de........licious! Told you I was old Tink! |

Excellent descriptions of the Chelsea bun ........ put it all together and this is the end result!   Definitely one of my favourite cakes, especially with loads of spices in it!  |

Thanks Mags - good picture. They have many similarities with a Hot Cross Bun, and yet taste quite different! |

They look quite similar to our pecan twirls ... cinamonny, but with nuts, no fruit. Delicious! http://bestuff.com/images/images_of_...jpg?1216078594 |
