This is my favorite recipe so far from Samantha Seneviratne's cookbook, Joys of Baking. Its warm yellow spiral design and wonderful fragrance can't help but bring a smile to my face.
The first few times I made it, I did it by hand. Truly a labor and I couldn't help add a bunch of flour because it was so gloppy after adding the butter. Now that I have a stand mixer, it's so easy to just let the machine do the work and the butter eventually gets worked in without having to add more flour (or feeling like I'm going to injure my arm from the intense kneading). I even made 2 doughs in the same day (saving one to bake a couple days later).
DBD watched the video on how to make it and caught that you can use the spread on toast as well, and made sure to save some the last time we made it (in fact, DBD and XBD made the filling together while I lay on the couch).
8/22/23 Made this for a summer gathering. Still a personal favorite.
