   CHELMSFORD DISTRICT
     VIRTUAL EASTER
       CHALLENGE
          2021
                                TESTED)
  Ingredients
    500g/1lb 2oz strong white flour, plus extra for dusting
    75g/2¾oz caster sugar
    2 tsp mixed spice powder
    1 tsp ground cinnamon
    1 lemon, finely grated zest only
    10g/¼oz salt
    10g/¼oz fast-action dried yeast
    40g/1½oz butter
    300ml/10fl oz milk
    1 free-range egg, beaten
    200g/7oz sultanas
    50g/1¾oz finely chopped mixed candied peel
    oil, for greasing
  For the topping
    75g/2¾oz plain flour
    2 tbsp golden syrup, for glazing
                                 Method
 1. Put the flour, sugar, spices and lemon zest into a large bowl and
mix together. Then add the salt and yeast, placing them on opposite
                           sides of the bowl.
2. Melt the butter in a pan and warm the milk in a separate pan. Add
the butter and half the tepid milk to the dry ingredients. Add the egg
 and use your hands to bring the mixture together, incorporating the
    flour from the edges of the bowl as you go. Gradually add the
remaining milk, to form a soft pliable dough (you may not need all of
                                the milk).

3. Tip the dough out on to a lightly floured work surface.
Knead by hand incorporating the sultanas and mixed peel
into the dough. Lightly knead for 10 minutes until silky and
elastic and forming a smooth ball. The kneading can also be
done in a food mixer with a dough hook.
4. Oil a bowl and place the dough in a bowl, cover with cling
film and leave to rest in a warm place for about 1½ hours or
until doubled in size.
5. Turn the dough out on to a floured surface and divide
into 12 balls. Line 1-2 baking trays with paper and place the
balls on the tray, placing them fairly close together and
flattening them slightly.
6. Slip each baking tray into a large clean polythene bag,
making sure the bag doesn’t touch the buns. Leave for 40-
60 minutes until the buns have doubled in size.
7. Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.
8. For the topping, add the flour to a bowl with 100ml/3½fl
oz water. Mix together to make a
paste and spoon into the icing bag.
9. When the buns have risen remove the polythene bags
and pipe a cross on each bun. Bake
for 15-20 minutes until pale golden-brown, turning the
baking trays round halfway through if
necessary.
10. Melt the golden syrup in a pan and while the buns are
still warm, brush the buns with a little
syrup to give a nice shine, before setting aside to cool on a
wire rack.ading
