8
- 175ml milk
- 3 tsp dried yeast
- 350g white bread flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 50g butter
- 50 brown sugar (any kind - or white if you're pushed)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp misxed spice
- 1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
- 100g currants/rasins/mixed fruit - whatever
Method/steps
- Bung it all in the breadmaker except the fruit
- Put the fruit in the rasin dispenser and set to rasin dough if your machine does it. If not, knead in the rasins when the dough is ready.
- Then shape into 8 little buns, and leave for about an hour to rise somewhere warmish.
- Bake at 200 deg C for about 20 mins.
- You can make a flour paste to make X's before they go in the oven, and glaze with a little sugar and water boiled to make a syrup when they come out, but I almost never bother.
- Split and toast, and eat with lots of butter, and a pot of tea at four o'clock, preferably by the fire on a winters afternoon, surrounded by a good book and a couple of sleeping dogs.
