Bee charmer

It took me ages to decide what to cook for this post. Fried green tomatoes seemed the obvious choice but there was a problem. You can't buy green tomatoes in England. Hard flavourless red tomatoes yes, but green tomatoes no.
In fact the only way to get them is to grow them yourself, and not wanting to be an a##hole I thought better of going in someone Else's garden to help myself.
The next best choice seemed to be a barbecue as it was mentioned alot, but I'd already cooked one and I fancied something different.
The back of the book is sprinkled with recipes and whilst perusing these and drooling at the idea of dessert I had a brainwave. Idgie is called a bee charmer and when she shows her skill to Ruth it helps cement their relationship, so a cake with honey in it seemed perfect!
I found this recipe in Afternoon teas by Susannah Blake, these buns are incredibly sickly but good. Only have one at a time and they are one of the few cakes that I actually prefer cold as they mellow a bit.

Honey buns

pre heat oven to 170'c, 325'f, gas 3

put 60g butter, 50g caster sugar and 4tblsp honey together in a saucepan and heat gently until the butter has melted.

remove the pan from the heat and add 80ml milk and one large bearen egg.

sift in 115g self raising flour and stir in.

spoon the mixture into a 12 hole cupcake tin and bake for 20min.

once the cakes are cool spread with icing made from

2oog icing sugar and 2 tblsp lemon juice. Add sprinkles for extra whimsy.

Picture yourself munching on these whilst going on some crazy adventure in 1930's Alabama. Flowery dress of dungarees are optional.
