Hot Cross Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 100g Australian butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup sultanas
  • 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
  • 1/4 cup currants
  • 1/2 cup Australian milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups self-raising flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon mixed spice
  • Icing: 1/2 cup icing sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Australian milk


Method

  1. Heat sugar, butter, orange juice and fruit over low heat until mixture comes to a gentle simmer. Remove from heat, cool slightly.
  2. Whisk milk and eggs into the butter mixture, then lightly stir into sifted dry ingredients.
  3. Spoon mixture between 12 x 1/3 cup capacity muffin pans that have been lined with paper muffin cases. Bake at 180°C for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
