Sugar buns

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.
