Directions: |
Directions:Heat the milk, butter and minced orange peel until lukewarm. Sift together the spices and flour in a large bowl. Add the dried fruit and yeast into the flour and mix well. Pour in the beaten egg and warm milk and mix to form a dough. Knead the dough until it is soft and pliable. All this can be done by hand or in a food mixer with a dough hook. Leave the dough to rise either overnight in the fridge or in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours. Take out the dough and knock back and divide into 16 pieces. Knead each into a ball and place on a greased baking sheet, almost touching. Score the tops with an X shape and leave to rise again for about 45 minutes in a warm place so they join up. When they have risen, brush with egg wash. Mix up the flour, sugar and water for the cross icing - don't do this early or it will make a glue!! Fill the X marks with icing. (This is easy with a resealable bag with corner cut off.) Bake at 425ºF for 15-20 minutes. When they come out of the oven, mix the powdered sugar and hot water and brush the glaze over the buns. |

The Priceless Gift
The priceless gift of life is love,
For with the help of God above
Love can change the human race
And make the world a better place -
For love dissolves all hate and fear
And makes our vision bright and clear
So we can see and rise above
Our pettiness on "wings of love."
