We cheated a little with this recipe, in that the bread machine made the dough. These are fantastic when just out of the oven, or toasted then spread with a little butter and gooseberry jam.
Makes 8. You'll need:
1/2 teaspoon fast action yeast
250g strong white flour
1 teaspoon sugar
25g butter
1 tablespoon milk powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
100ml water
100g raisins
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon mixed spice
Sling all the ingredients in the bread machine. I then stuck mine on the bread dough program, which took a couple of hours, and does the first part of the proving process.
Once your dough is made, divide it into 8 balls, and place on a baking tray (either lightly greased or covered with a silicon sheet). Cover with a tea towel, and allow to prove in a warm place until they've doubled in size (this will probably take about an hour).
Don't forget to stick your oven on at some point during the hour - about 220 degrees C should do it.
Make a paste from a couple of tablespoons of flour and a couple of tablespoons of water. Use this to pipe or drizzle a cross over the tops of the buns. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until they are golden brown.
