Sticky hot cross buns

plain flour

sachet easy-blend yeast

golden caster sugar,

salt

tsp ground mixed spice

cranberries blueberries

sultanas

lemon

milk,

egg, beaten

butter, melted

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, spice, fruit and lemon zest.

Make a well in the centre and stir in the warm milk, beaten egg and melted butter. Stir together to make a soft dough. Knead on a surface for 5 minutes until smooth. Return to the bowl, cover and leave for 1 hour until risen.

Line a 12-hole muffin tin with circles of greaseproof paper or muffin cases. Briefly knead the dough and roll out into 12 balls and put one in each case. Cut a cross in the top of each ball, cover again and leave to rise for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Bake the buns for 15-20 minutes until golden. Mix together the remaining sugar with 2 tablespoons of water. Brush the buns with the sugar water as soon as they come out of the oven. Leave to cool a little before eating.
