Hot cross buns

Serves:

Ingredients

For the buns

  • 25g margarine (Stork packet)
  • 225g strong plain flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 6g fast action dried yeast
  • 40g caster sugar
  • 55g mixed dried fruit
  • 25g mixed chopped peel
  • 1 tsp mixed spice
  • 150ml milk

For the crosses

  • 25g margarine (Stork packet)
  • 55g plain flour

For the glaze

  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk

 

Method

Start by preheating your oven to 220°C. Then put the margerine, sieved flour and salt into a large bowl and rub into a fine breadcrumb mixture. Stir in the yeast, sugar, fruit, peel and spice. Warm the milk until tepid, pour it into the bowl, and mix together into a soft dough. Place the dough onto a floured surface and knead until elastic and no longer sticky. Shape into 8 buns and place them onto a greased baking sheet. Cover them with lightly oiled cling film and leave in a warm place for around 45 minutes, until almost doubled in size. To make the crosses, blend the margarine with the flour and 4 tablespoons water. Remove the cling film from the buns and pipe the mixture across them. Pop them in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. To make the glaze: Gently warm the sugar and milk together. Brush it over the buns, and pop them back into the oven for another 2 minutes. Leave them to cool on a plate or rack before serving.
