Hot Cross Buns.

Place in bread-baking pan -

3 cups of high quality plain white flour.
3t yeast.
1.5T sugar.
1t salt.
1.5t each of cinnamon and mixed spice.
1T cocoa.
A handful of sultanas.

Melt 1.5T butter in a saucepan, with 300mls of milk - warmed to blood heat.
Add to dry ingredients.

Place pan in bread-making machine and set to 'dough'. (Occasionally check that the dry ingredients aren't sticking to the side of the bread-pan. Scrape any bits and pieces into the mixing ball.)

When the 'dough' process is complete, empty dough from the pan onto the kitchen bench - Turn oven to 50oC. (Have the wire-rack, which the baking tray is to sit on, in the middle of the oven.)

Lay a sheet of baking paper onto an oven tray.

Measure out pieces of dough to 50/60grams. Roll into balls and place on tray, nearly touching.

Cover with clean cloth (t-towel), turn oven off and place tray with buns on in oven for 35mins.

When 35mins is up, remove and turn oven on to 220oC.

Then just before placing uncooked buns in the oven you can 'place' a cross on each by making a runny paste of flour and water and piping it on, either with a piping nozzle attached to a piping bag or by making a paper piping bag yourself. (The taste of the bun won't be affected if it doesn't have a cross).

Place buns in 220oC for 5 mins then turn oven down to 180oC for a further 10mins.

Cool and eat.
