Hot Cross Buns
You will need 1 lb plain flour 1 level teaspoon caster sugar 1 oz fresh yeast (or 1 level tablespoon dried yeast) 1/4 pint lukewarm milk 2 fluid oz warm water 1 level teaspoon each of salt and mixed spice 2 oz caster sugar 2 oz melted butter 1 beaten egg 1 oz currants 1-2 oz chopped mixed peel
Grease and flour two baking trays and preheat oven to 190C. Sift 4 oz of the flour with the sugar. Crumble in the yeast and stir in the milk & water. Leave the mixture in a warm place for 20-30 mins until frothy.
Meanwhile sift the remaining flour with the salt & spice. Add the sugar. Stir the melted butter together with the egg into the risen yeast mixture. Gradually fold in the flour, currants and peel. Knead the dough on a floured surface until perfectly smooth. Divide into 12 pieces and shape into buns. Set the buns well apart on the prepared trays and leave them in a warm place until doubled in size. Make two cuts on the top of each bun to form a cross.
Bake just above the centre of the oven for 15-20 mins. Leave the buns to cool on a wire rack; while still warm brush them with a glaze made from 1 1/2 oz caster sugar dissolved in 2 tablespoons water.
