Ingredients
- ½ cup raisins
- ½ cup mixed candied fruit
- ¾ cup warm milk
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 ¼ teaspoon quick rise yeast
- 2 large eggs
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Crosses:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ¼ cup water plus 1 tablespoon
Icing:
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon milk
Instructions
- In a medium bowl whisk together 1 cup of flour with the sugar, yeast, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
- In a large bowl beat together the milk, butter and eggs.
- Add the flour/yeast mixture to the milk mixture and beat well, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the candied fruit and raisins.
- Gradually stir in the remaining flour to make soft dough.
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 7 minutes, until dough is smooth.
- Form the dough into a ball, cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Set aside.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and divide it into 12 equal sized pieces.
- Roll each piece into a ball and place it in the prepared baking dish.
- Cover with a clean tea towel and let stand in a warm draught free area until doubled in size, about 1 ½ hours.
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a small bowl mix together the water, flour and powdered sugar for the crosses. Put this mixture in a Ziploc bag, cut a corner off the bag and pipe a line down the length and width of the pan of buns to form crosses.
- Bake for 30 - 35 minutes.
- Mix together the powdered sugar and milk for the icing and brush it over the buns while they are hot from the oven.
