100 g Brown sugar
1/2 ts Cinnamon
1/2 ts Nutmeg
1 pn Salt
1/2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Bicarbonate of soda

135 g Sultanas and raisins
MMMMM-----------------------FLOUR PASTE------------------------------
125 g Flour
5 tb Water
MMMMM--------------------------GLAZE---------------------------------
65 mL Golden syrup
65 mL Boiling water
Set the oven @ 180°C/355°F.
Combine the flour, yeast, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt,
baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, lemon zest and dried fruit in a
large mixing bowl.
Place the milk and butter in a saucepan and heat gently until the
butter has melted. Lightly whisk the eggs and vanilla together and
add to the dry ingredients, along with the milk-and-butter mixture.
Gently mix the dough using your hands or a wooden spoon until the
mixture comes together.
Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and knead for 10 minutes.
Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with clingfilm and place in a
warm spot for 1-1/2 hours until doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, knock it down to its original size and
then roll into 12 evenly shaped buns.
Place the buns on a greased baking tray and cover with clingfilm,
leaving enough room for the buns to rise. Allow the buns to rise
for another 30 minutes.
To make the flour paste, mix the flour and water together to form a
smooth paste, place in a Ziploc sandwich bag and cut off one of the
corners to make a piping bag.
Pipe a cross onto each bun and bake for 15 minutes, or until the
buns are golden and cooked through. Glaze the buns while they are
still hot.
