Answer 1

Iced Buns

Ingredients

600 gm strong bakers flour
75 gm butter (room temperature)
250 ml milk and water mix
100 gm sugar - soft brown
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground cloves
4 tsp yeast - dried
1 pc egg
80 ml honey
50 gm currants
50 gm sultanas
25 gm mixed peel
100 gm sugar
75 ml water

Method

Sieve the flour three times
Melt the butter in the milk & water, with the sugar and spices, allow cool to blood temperature (when a clean finger is place in it should feel neither warm nor cold
Add the yeast and stir until thoroughly dissolved
Add half the flour mixture and stir to a batter, leave in a warm place (must not be higher than 40°C) until fermented
Beat in the egg and honey, add the fruits and enough of the remaining flour to form a soft, slack dough, knead for 10 minutes until a soft and springy dough is formed
Mould into buns or fingers
Place on greased and floured tray, (or large cake tin, loaf tin, etc) allowing enough room for the increase in size and prove again until doubled in size
Bake at 200°C for 15 minutes, remove from oven

Icing

Place a cup of icing sugar in a bowl and add stir in few teaspoons of water at a time until the required constancy is achieved

The icing may be flavoured with food essences: mint, orange etc or the water replaced with orange juice
