Ingredients:
½ Cup, Molasses
½ Cup, Butter or margarine
3 Cups, Flour
½ Cup, Boiling Water
1½ Tsp, Baking Soda
½ Cup, Brown Sugar
1 Egg
1 Tbsp, Evaporated Milk or milk of choice
1 Tbsp, Allspice
1 Tbsp, Ginger
1 Tbsp, Cinnamon
½ Tsp, Sea salt
(½ cup pork fat piece) Optional
Prep time: 10 minutes, Baking time: 15 minutes, Buns baked: 12 to 24 depending on the size.
1- In a large bowl add molasses, boiling water and baking soda, mix together with a spoon until it starts to fizz.
2- Then add brown sugar, room temperature butter, and all spices mix in to mixture until all combined.
3- In a small bowl add egg and milk, mix together then add to large bowl with the other ingredients mix together.
4- Then sift flour and sea salt into mixture and blend together, you may need to use your hand to fold all together. Dust with more flour if it's to soft, form into a ball.
5- After sprinkle flour on your counter top or board then place the dough ball mixture on it and cut in half.
6- Take one half and add the fried pork fat piece into mixture, then roll out on counter top.
7- Take a small cookie cutter or glass, about 2½ inch wide and cut out small round pieces of dough, about 1 inch thick or pinch pieces of the size you like and place on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Continue doing this until all buns are cut out, then roll out the other half of your dough and continue doing the same thing, to make pain molasses buns.
8- Preheat your oven to 350°F and set your timer to 15 minutes, when baked place on a cooling rack or serve hot.
Baking Tips:
- Put dough ball in the fridge to cool before rolling our or pinching of pieces.
- If you would like to make these molasses buns like they did back in the day when they used pork fat in the making of these buns replacing the butter or margarine.
- You first fry out the small pieces of fat pork and the fat from the pork you put in a bowl only using a 1/2 cup of the fat and replacing the butter in this recipe. Also you can use the pork scrunchions instead of the raw pork in the molasses bun recipe.
- You can also add a cup of raisins of choice to this same recipe if you like to have that too.
- After you open a box of baking soda, dump it into a mason jar or container. Most times baking soda's container don't close properly and this will make the baking soda loss its fizz. DON'T USE the baking soda from your fridge " that is for freshening your fridge" only use the room temperature box of baking soda from your cupboard. If your baking soda don't fizz you can still use it but maybe replace it for the next use.
These molasses buns was made so many ways back in the day

Bonita, when I was a very young child my mother made molasses bread. She would oil the inside of a large can or smaller ones from vegetables with the bottoms still in tact. She made all our home made bread everyday. Seven children were always hungry. We were from Nfld. Nothing like homemade molasses bread. Haven’t had it in years. .brings back memory’s.
Hi Bonnie and thank you for stopping by and sharing a little memory story with us. Food and memories go hand and hand, welcome to our channel.

I do have a video and recipe for sweet molasses raisin bread www.bonitaskitchen.com/recipe/traditional-newfoundland-sweet-molasses-raisin-bread/ this was one of my favourite breads at Christmas time.

Hello Bonita,
I add raisins and I soak them in the hot water. Plumper raisins! I love these buns. Yes, we always called them buns rather than biscuits. My Nan always used fat back pork.

I made the molasses buns with gluten free flour. The results where excellent. I used 1/2 cup less flour. Backing time is a little shorter. 20 minutes is plenty.

♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡
Larisa Albrecht Yes it is, they are bought pig fat and the fat pork comes in a chunk of fat you will cut into pieces and lard have already been rendered out. Thank you for your question and nice message. Have a wonderful Sunday. Bonita
Great recipe thanks
Hi Donald: Thank you so much for your message and for visiting our channel, I'm glad you enjoyed our recipe. These are so good and easy to make. :) Bonita
They look so good inside but how we suppose to brush all the flour of the tops. ?it would look better without that flour. Thanks for showing how to. Make raisin. Bread
Loretta Burt you are very welcome and thank you for visiting my channel, you don't have to use so much flour, anytime you make a recipe you make it the way you would like them. Thanks Bonita
Thanks for this video. It is very easy to follow...I'm wondering what the main difference was between using pork fat or not? Besides taste was there a difference in texture?
Hi Keith: Thank you for you message and for visiting my channel, there is no difference in the texture or taste of the molasses buns. Years ago fat pork buns was a big thing in homes in Newfoundland, our elders would make these all the time and have in a cookie jar for you to eat as a snack. Fat pork gives it a different taste but its not going to make the tea bun better. So give them a try with or without the fat pork and let me know. :) Bonita
They used fat pork when I was a kid , just because we had no butter or any other means of fat .. simple as that we were to poor .. I hated biting into that pieces of fat pork in those buns especially in the tea biscuits ...
Hi Bonita When you say milk of your choice does that include buttermilk also.....
For sure it that works for you, this is one of those recipe you can replace the milk with different types and even water. Enjoy Bonita
Can i sub out the butter and use shortening instead? I got no ginger but i got allspice and cinnamon, can i put nutmeg instead of ginger?
Yes for sure, years ago our elders would use lard and that is just a shortening. For sure use nutmeg and you can leave out the ginger.....Thank you for stopping by and enjoy to the fullest. :) Bonita
Anyone remember scalded pork buns? Man, I could eat those by the dozen. How do you cook those?
Garland Best Thank you for your message and question, this recipe I'm going to give you is for tea buns all you would need to do is just add 1/2 cup chopped fat pork and bake the same way 10-15 minutes. The only difference is its called a different name, thank you once again and have a wonderful day. Bonita

@@bonitaskitchen that would be great thank you very much. Yes I watched you raisin cake that's what reminded me of the Molasses pudding because hers always had raisins in it and it was steamed too

Butter is getting very expensive, I bake aloy how do you think it will be with a margarine?
Thats ok to use margarine, what I do when it goes onsale I try to buy more. But I use margarine as well when thats all I have. Enjoy Bonita
Can you use shortening instead of butter
Hi Evelyn: Thank you for your message and for visiting our channel, years ago the elders used whatever they had on hand. Today we got to look at the healthy side of baking and use something with less saturated fats, if you wish to use it I'm sure it would turn out but I won't recommend it. Butter is your better choice and margarine would be the next, I hope that helps and enjoy these delicious little molasses tea buns. Bonita
Yes I understand that healthy choice but can you use shortening instead of butter
@@evelynrubia6987 Yes you can use it if thats want you have on hand, there is no taste to shortening but again years ago people used shortening for baking pastry's, bread and I'm sure they used it on teas buns, but Evelyn I haven't. Let me know how they turn out and chat soon. Bonita
Is the fat pork just for the flavor?
Pretty much and it gives it a different texture when baked, my moms favourite. I enjoy the plain or raisins in mine. Enjoy and Happy Easter :) Bonita
This pork dat is not the salted kind ...!correct
Thank you but its not like moms. Hers was called Nova Scotia brown bread. I miss place the recipe i can't remember how to make since its been years. Friday night pork and bean and NS brown bread. If i could have someone sent copy of recipe glorgirl@hotmail.com. i sure do miss this bread so tasty and delicious thanks. Anita

Hi Anita: Thank you for your message and for stopping by, these are our molasses buns its not the same as bread I have a recipe here for sweet molasses bread czcams.com/video/ujOU6XE0xss/video.html maybe this is more like your moms. Pork and beans sound like a tasty meal to have with the bread for sure. Enjoy and all the best. :) Bonita
