easter buns


mix 7g yeast(1 sachet) with 1tblspn castor sugar and 1-1/2 cups of warm milk leave for ten minutes.
Add 60g melted butter 1/4 cup castor sugar , mixed spice and 2 cups sultanas
I egg lightly whisked and pinch of salt. I used 2 cups wholemeal and 2-1/2 cups of white flour
knead togther to nice smooth dough, break into 16 pieces and roll in balls place in tray and let rise for 20 mins
Pipe mix of 1/2 cup plain flour and 1/3 cup water to make crosses on top (my nightshift brain did this too early and roughly, and mine melted away)
bake in preheated 200 degree oven. 1/2 way through brush with apricot jam bake approx 35 mins till golden shiny tops and a wonderful spicy aroma fills your house.
Enjoy warm with fresh butter....veryjoe
