    Scripture in the Kitchen: David’s blessed

    buns
    Author: Simon Bartz, 25 March 2024

    The thought behind ‘Scripture in the Kitchen’ is to be mindful of God


    while doing an everyday task. In this case, cooking – ladle in one hand,
    Bible in the other, so to speak. Maybe sing a song of thanksgiving as you
    cook!

    ‘David’s Blessed Buns’ would be perfect to share with coffee at a home


    Bible study, but these sweet treats can of course also be eaten alone or with
    family and friends.

    There are hundreds of references to food and drink in the Bible and some
    of today's healthiest choices were part of the diet in those days, such as
    fish, olive oil, garlic, pomegranates, and, of course, milk and honey.

    Scripture in the Kitchen is an occasional column that appears in Bible


    Society’s magazine, Word in Action.

    David’s Blessed Buns


    MAKES 8

    ‘And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace
    offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts and
    distributed among all the people, the whole multitude of Israel, both men
    and women, a cake of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins to
    each one. Then all the people departed, each to his house.’ (2 Samuel
    6.18–19, ESV)

    Raisins are mentioned several times in the Bibles. Raisin cakes were
    typically offered by ancient people to their gods. It also seems like the
    sweetness of raisins would help people feel more upbeat: ‘Sustain me with
    raisins; refresh me with apples, for I am sick with love’ (Song of Solomon
    2.5, ESV).
    Ingredients
    ● 100 g brown sugar
    ● 200 ml warm water
    ● 1 tbsp of yeast
    ● 300 g plain flour
    ● 1 tsp butter
    ● 100 g of raisins
    ● salt
    ● your choice of spices like ginger, cinnamon, almond essence or
    mixed spice
    ● 1 tbsp of honey (optional)

    Method
    1. Mix the sugar, yeast and water together and leave in a warm place
    for 30 minutes, so the yeast can start to activate.
    2. Stir in the flour and butter and knead for five minutes.
    3. Add your choice of spices, flavourings and then knead and shape
    into eight round bun shapes.
    4. Place on a greased tray and bake in the oven at Gas 6 (200 C) for 20
    minutes, till risen and a nice colour.
    5. Lovely toasted with butter while reading Song of Solomon.
