Hot Cross Buns
Ingredients:
Buns

Method:
Buns
  1. Combine milk and butter and dried fruit in a small saucepan and stir over low heat just until butter melts, cool until just blood temperature, stir in egg, orange rind, sugar and yeast
  2. Place flour and spices in a large bowl, pour in milk mixture and stir until dough comes together. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, place in a buttered bowl, cover and stand in a warm place for 30-45 minutes
  3. Knock back the dough and divide into 20 pieces and knead each into a round bun. Place buns onto a lined baking tray, cover and stand in warm place for a further 30-45 minutes
