Plan on making these for Good Friday...
Fresh from Kidspot who say it is "a simple recipe for delicious, fresh from the oven, go crazy with the butter, yum buns. Enjoy."

Ingredients
450g Bread Flour
285ml Milk, lukewarm
110g Currants
110g Sultanas
110g Sugar
110g Butter
15g Yeast (or equivalent Dried Yeast)
½ tsp Mixed Spice
¼ tsp Salt

Method
Pre-heat oven to 190°C (fan-forced)
Sieve flour, spice and salt into a bowl.
Rub the butter lightly into flour, until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Add in currants and sultanas and mix thoroughly.
Dissolve the sugar in a little of the milk and use to mix the yeast into a smooth thin paste, then add to the remaining milk.
Place in a warm place for 10 minutes, until bubbles begin to appear.
Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture to create a light dough, mixing thoroughly.
Cover and allow to stand in a warm place for 45-60 minutes or until doubled in volume.
Turn onto lightly floured board.
Punch down and knead briefly, adding the currants and sultanas, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Divide into 12 portions.
Shape the dough into round balls, flatten slightly and place on to a greased baking tin.
Mark deeply with a cross shape on top.
Leave in a warm place for 20 minutes to allow to rise again.
Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 160°C (fan- forced) and cook for a further 5 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown.
Dissolve 2 teaspoons sugar into 2 tablespoons boiling water until dissolved to become a sugar glaze.
Remove from the oven and immediately brush with the sugar glaze.
Allow to cool.
