I've made these buns and they are awesome.
1 tablespoon active dry yeast ½ cup caster sugar 1 ½ cups (375ml) lukewarm milk 4 ¼ cups plain flour, sifted 2 ½ teaspoons mixed spice 2 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon ¼ cup mixed candied peel, finely chopped 50g butter, melted 1 egg 2 cups mixed dried fruit (sultanas, raisins, currants) Crosses ¼ cup plain flour 2 tablespoons (40ml) water Glaze ¼ cup caster sugar 30ml water 1 teaspoon powdered gelatine (dissolved in a 1 tablespoon of water) 1. Place the yeast, two teaspoons of the sugar and milk in a jug or bowl and set aside for 5 minutes. The mixture will start to foam, indicating the yeast is active. 2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, spices, sultanas, mixed peel and remaining sugar. Add the butter, egg and milky yeast mixture. Mix using a butter knife until a sticky dough forms. 3. Knead the dough on a well floured surface for 8 minutes or until elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel and allow to stand in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size. Divide the dough into 12 pieces and roll into balls. 4 Grease a 23cm (9 inch) square cake tin and line with non-stick baking paper (I prefer to just use a flat pan to get lighter more billowy buns). Place the dough balls in the tin, cover with a tea towel and set aside for 30 minutes or until they rise. 5 Preheat the oven to 200°C. For the crosses, combine the flour and water and using a piping bag, pipe crosses on the buns. Bake for 35 minutes or until well browned and springy to touch. 6 Prepare the glaze in the last 5 minutes of baking time. Place the sugar and water in a small saucepan over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Add the gelatine and cook for 1 minute. 7. Brush the warm glaze over the buns while they are hot.
