2011-10-31
Ingredients
For the dough
- 600g strong flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 60g butter, softened
- Zest of a lemon & orange
- 11g sachet dried yeast
- 350ml warm milk
For the filling
- 60g melted Butter
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp mixed spice
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 100g dried fruit
- 50g candied peel
- 50g cherries, halved
- Honey, cinnamon & sugar to decorate
Method
To make the dough, put the flour, salt, sugar and butter in a large bowl and rub together till the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add in the zest, yeast and warm milk and mix to a soft dough. Place the dough onto a floured surface and knead well for 4 minutes. Put the dough into a floured bowl, cover with plastic and leave to rise till double in size, for about an hour. Knock back the dough and roll out to a large square, 40cm x 25cm. Brush the dough with half of the melted butter, and sprinkle over the spices, sugar, dried fruit and cherry halves. Roll up tight from top to bottom, into a large Swiss roll and cut up into 12 equal slices. Brush a rectangular baking tray with some of the remaining butter, and place the slices on their sides on the tray, 3 pieces by 4 pieces. Brush with the remaining butter. Cover with plastic and leave to rise again till double in size again. Bake the Chelsea buns in the oven for 35-40 minutes at 210`c, till golden brown. AS soon as the Chelsea buns come out of the oven, brush them all over with the honey to glaze. Finally, finish off the buns with a generous sprinkling of the extra cinnamon and sugar. Serve the Chelsea buns warm or cold.

Ingredients
Għall-għaġina
- 600g strong flour
- ½ kuċċarina melħ
- 2 mgħaref zokkor
- 60g butir, imrattab
- qoxra ta’ lumija u ta’ larinġa maħkuka
- pakkett żgħir ħmira (11g)
- 350ml ħalib sħun
Għall-mili
- 60g butir, imdewweb
- 2 kuċċarini trab tal-kannella
- ½ kuċċarina ħwawar imħallta
- 2 mgħaref zokkor
- 100g frott niexef
- 50g konfettura
- 50g ċirasa, maqsuma min-nofs
- ftit għasel
- trab tal-kannella u zokkor biex iżżejjen
Method
Biex tagħmel l-għaġina, itfa’ d-dqiq, il-melħ, iz-zokkor u l-butir fi skutella kbira u agħġinhom flimkien bil-ponot ta’ subgħajk, sakemm it-taħlita tiġi qisha frak tal-ħobż. Żid il-qxur maħkuk, il-ħmira u l-ħalib u ħawwad biex tifforma għaġina ratba. Iftaħha fuq wiċċ miksi bid-dqiq u ħaddem l-għaġina għal madwar 4 minuti sakemm ma tibqax imrammla. Poġġiha fi skutella miksija bid-dqiq, għattiha b’biċċa plastik u ħalliha togħla għal madwar siegħa sakemm tirdoppja fid-daqs. Erġa’ ħaddem l-għaġina u iftaħha f’forma kwadra ta’ 40ċm b’25ċm. Idlikha b’nofs il-butir imdewweb, u ferrex il-ħwawar, iz-zokkor, il-frott niexef u ċ-ċirasa. Rembel l-għaġina f’romblu kbir u qattagħha fi 12-il biċċa. Iksi pjanċa rettangolari bi ftit mill-butir li jkun fadal u poġġi l-biċċiet fuqha fi tliet ringieli b’erba’ biċċiet, f’kull waħda. Iksihom bil-butir li jkun fadal. Għattihom bil-plastik u ħallihom ikomplu jogħlew sakemm jirduppjaw fid-daqs. Aħmihom għal madwar 35-40 minuta f’temperatura ta’ 210oC sakemm jiħmaru. Kif toħroġhom mill-forn, iksi ċ-Chelsea buns bl-għasel biex jiġu jleqqu. Fl-aħħar, ferrex it-trab tal-kannella u z-zokkor fil-wiċċ. Servihom sħan jew kesħin.
