Ingredients

Luilakbollen

Lazybones buns

1 1/2 cup flour

salt

1/2 cup milk

0.5 oz yeast

2 oz. butter

3 oz. currants

1 oz. raisins

1 tsp cinnamon

1 egg

molasses or ‘stroop’

A treat for us as kids and ma never made more then 1 each. Alot of times we'd end up eatting these at breakfast and soaking them in a bowl of warm milk straight from the cow.

A little history on these buns below:

(Luilak these days is a very localized custom - Amsterdam and surroundings - on the Saturday morning before Pentecost. Children and teens rise very early to play pranks on those considered to be ‘lazybones,’ by ringing their doorbell and then run away. Before ringing the bell they tie the doorknob to another fixed object, and make all kinds of noises to awake people. In earlier times they would chant and parade noisily through the streets, bang on pots and pans, use rattles and sticks. The person in the family who slept in the longest that Saturday morning, by tradition was expected to treat with these buns).

Directions

For 10 buns: Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm milk. Pour the flour and salt into a bowl, make an indent in the top and pour in the liquid. Add cooled-down but still liquid butter. From the centre, mix it in the flour, till the dough is nice and smooth. Set aside for 15 minutes to let it rise.

Wash the currants and raisins and pat them dry with absorbant paper. Mix them in with the dough, together with the cinnamon and make the dough into ten balls.

Put the balls on a greased cookie sheet, press them down a bit and with a pair of scissors cut make four equally-spaced cuts along one side. Allow the buns to rise for another 15 minutes.

Brush lightly beaten egg on the tops and bake the buns in a preheated oven at 450ºF for about 15 minutes until they are golden brown and done. Serve the luilakbollen warm with stroop or molasses.

What is stroop? I hope you don't think I'm dumb, but are molasses and sorgum the same thing? This recipe looks great, I'm gonna try this, later though, I have to make about 3 different cookie and candy recipes a day to have my Christmas Gifts done in time for Christmas. Eegads, what a mess!!

Stroop is molasses.Sorgum would work as well... the consistancy is about the same, the flavor some what but it'll all work out just fine in the end. Lordy I'd hate to be at your house for the holidays I'd gain back the 60lbs I've lost since I moved down here haha!! Happy Holidays..and your pork chops were a hit lastnight ;)
