Ingredients:
375 ml milk
60 g butter
480 g cake flour
65 ml Castor sugar
10 ml mixed spice
5 ml ground cinnamon
10 g instant dry yeast
1 egg, beaten
250 ml sultanas
CROSSES:
125 ml cake flour
75 ml milk or water
GLAZE:
30 ml milk
30 ml Castor sugar

Method:
1. Heat milk and butter together, leave to cool slightly.
2. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, spices and yeast.
3. Stir in lukewarm milk and butter, egg and sultanas. Knead well until smooth (10 minutes), cover and leave in a warm place until dough has doubled in size.
4. Knead dough for a few minutes until smooth. Divide into 18 small balls and place on a greased baking sheet. Cover and leave to rise until double in size.
5. CROSSES: Mix flour and sugar, add enough water to form a smooth paste. Place flour paste in a piping bag and, using small plain tube, make crosses on buns.
6. Bake in a 180 ºC oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
GLAZE: Heat milk and sugar together, without boiling. Turn buns onto wire rack, brush with hot glaze and cool.
Serve.
