Ingredients

1.5 tsp yeast
150 g all purpose flour
50 g sugar
0.5 tsp salt
2 tsp mixed spice
50 g butter
1 medium egg
210 ml milk

25 g butter

For the Glaze:

2 tbsp milk

Steps

STEP 1

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.

STEP 2

When the cycle is complete, remove dough from the pan and shape into 12 equal size balls. Cover with greased cling wrap and leave until doubled in size.

STEP 3

Preheat the oven on CONVECTION 200°C.

STEP 4

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.

STEP 5

Bake for 10-15 minutes until brown and hollow sounding when tapped.

STEP 6

Make the glaze by dissolving the sugar in the milk and brushing over the top of the hot buns.
