    It's wonderful to hear from so many of you that Mrs Crocombe is providing a source of strength and solidarity in these difficult times. Stay safe everyone - thank you for watching and for your generous support.
    Below you'll find some answers to questions you might have about this particular recipe. If you try making Saffron Buns for yourself, don’t forget to share the pictures with us!
    WHERE IS MRS CROCOMBE FROM?
    Mrs Crocombe was born in Martinhoe in Devon and worked there as a teenager, eventually moving to London. Saffron was grown in Cornwall and Devon from the fourteenth century and was being grown around Walden - renamed Saffron Walden - in the seventeenth century. The Audley End estate borders Saffron Walden and it is the nearest town to the house.
    CAN I USE FRESH YEAST?
    Yes, you can. 4g (or 1 good tsp) of dried yeast is roughly equivalent to 10g (or just over 1/3 oz) of what we now call fresh yeast. Mrs Crocombe would have known it as German or compressed yeast. Whatever yeast you choose, it is worth mixing it with the warm milk to get it started. Be careful not to overheat the milk though.
    DO I HAVE TO USE LARD?
    If you have lard, it is the best fat to use, for it gives a real softness to the dough. However, you can substitute butter or vegetable shortening.
    WHAT IS MACE?
    It is the outer skin of nutmeg and was very popular as a spice in the Victorian era. It is quite a savoury spice, and if you are not used to it, we'd advise going easy on it.
    CAN I USE OTHER FRUIT?
    Of course - currants are traditional, but you can use whatever you have.
    WHAT IS THAT METAL SHAKER?
    A flour dredger. All Victorian houses would have had one (or more), for flour, sugar and anything else they needed to sift onto things
    .
    WHY WASN’T LENT OBSERVED?
    The Lenten fast was very much a personal thing but had been in decline in the UK since the Reformation. Some people still observed the Catholic tradition of four weeks of fish and no animal products, but most did not. There were, however, some foods associated with Easter itself: saffron buns were golden and, like cross buns (often called hot cross buns, even when eaten cold), they contained things like eggs and lard which were frowned upon during Lent. Lamb was also popular on Easter Sunday, for it was a rich person's dish (mutton was more usual), and linked to the idea of Jesus as the Lamb of God. Eggs were also associated with Easter for they symbolised new life.

    Dear Mrs. Crocrombe, As a historical fiction writer, I find your videos very helpful indeed. A character in my novel was JUST making buns like these. I was quite excited to see EXACTLY how she might have done it. While she's not my main character, I now feel like I could add a better explanation of how she did it should the others ask her! Thank you!

      Straight Razor Daddy a 25lb bag is a waste if some barely uses flour, and not everyone has space for a 25lb sack of flour. Get off your high horse. Besides, in terms of emergency preparedness, dried grains and legumes are much better to have as they’re more calorie dense and have a good balance of protein and carbs. Better fill your larder with dried legumes and grains, as well as tinned fresh produce.
