Am I crazy, but I'm sure sugar buns never used to have sultanas or currants in them.All the recipes these days do.I used to love them for morning tea when I first startingworking in the 60's .I hate sultanas and curramts, so would not have eaten them if they were in them.

made your own with out the currant/sultanas , although they are part of them this is the best recipe for them
Sugar Buns
1 1/4 cup flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 cup custard powder, 1/2 cup sugar, handful of sultanas, 60gr melted butter, 1 lightly beaten egg, a few drops of lemon essense, approx 1/4 cup milk, a few tsp jam.
Place sifted dry ingredients into med bowl. Add sugar and sultanas and give it a bit of a stir to combine. Make a well in the centre and mix in melted butter, egg and essence. Most of it should come together into a ball but don't worry if it doesn't - it'll be okay!! Slowly stir in the milk. (Adjust quanity if you need to - the mix should hold its shape when it is scooped up, ie: not sloppy.) Using a tablespoon, scoop out onto a baking paper lined tray. Place a small blob of jam on the top of each and a sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 180 for about 15 - 20 mins. Test by lightly touching the tops - should be firmish and lightly browned. Makes 7-8 buns.
