Jamaican Spice Bun Recipe

Name: Jamaican Spice Bun Recipe
Total time: 44 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Jamaican
Ingredients: 380g All purpose flour; 2 tsp Baking Powder; 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon; 1/2 tsp Salt; 1 large Egg; 150g Brown Sugar; 250g Beer; 1/3 cup Milk; 1/4 cup Honey; 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter; 1 tablespoon Molasses; 1 tsp Caramelized Sugar Sauce; 1 tsp Vanilla Extract; 1/2 cup Dried cranberries; 1/2 cup Raisins; 1/2 cup Dried Cherries

This Jamaican spice bun is a dense, fruit-studded loaf, perfumed with cinnamon and molasses. Dried cranberries, raisins, and cherries soak in beer, infusing them with extra depth before they're folded into the batter. It bakes up into a moist, cake-like bread, traditionally served with thin slices of cheddar cheese. The beer adds a subtle, earthy note without tasting overtly alcoholic.
