Ingredients

  • 11/2 tsp yeast
  • 450 g strong white flour
  • 50 g sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp mixed spice
  • 50 g butter
  • 1 medium egg
  • 210 ml milk
  • 150 g mixed dried fruit

  • For the crosses
  • 50 g plain flour
  • 25 g butter

  • For the glaze
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp caster sugar

Instructions

  • Place the ingredients in the pan in the order listed above, set the machine to BASIC RAISIN DOUGH, reserving the fruit for when the machine beeps.
  • When the cycle is complete remove dough from the pan and shape into 12 equal size balls. Cover with greased Clingfilm and leave to prove until doubled in size.
  • Preheat the oven on CONVECTION 200°C
  • Meanwhile to make the crosses rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs, add enough water to make a paste thick enough to be piped. Pipe crosses onto the buns.
  • Bake for 10-15 mins until brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
  • Make the glaze by dissolving the sugar in the milk and brushing over top of the hot buns.
