METHOD

Place the batter ingredients in a large bowl.

For the dough, place the flour in a bowl and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Add the rubbed in mixture and egg to the batter. Mix well.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
Knead for about 10 minutes, until the dough feels firm and elastic.

Place the dough in a lightly floured bowl.
Cover with greased clingfilm and leave to rise for about 1 hour,
or until the dough has doubled in size and will spring back when lightly pressed.

Pre-heat oven to 200 °C / 400 °F / Gas 6 and lightly butter a 20 cm (8 inch) sandwich tin.

Knead the dough lightly.
Roll out into a rectangle, 20 x 30 cm (8 x 12 inches).
Spread the dough with butter and sprinkle with the sugar, fruit and mixed peel.
Roll up like a Swiss roll from the long side. Cut into 9 slices.

Uncover and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown.

then turn out and leave to cool completely on a wire rack.

 

 

Chelsea Buns recipe number 3

2 cups (1/2 lb) 225 g flour (All purpose) warmed and sieved with 1 tsp of salt
1 stick (8 tbsp) 4 oz (112 g) butter
1/2 cup (8 tbsp) 100 g caster sugar (superfine granulated)
3 tbsp (25 g) yeast creamed with a teaspoon of sugar
1/4 pint of warm milk
4 eggs
4 - 5 oz currants, cleaned
1 small tsp Mixed Spice (All Spice / Pumpkin pie spice)
a little caster sugar (superfine granulated) for finishing method

1. Rub half the butter roughly into the dried, warmed flour and salt and add half the sugar.

2. Beat the eggs, add the tepid milk to the creamed yeast and mix with them.

3. Make a well in the flour and pour in the liquid. Mix thoroughly and knead until smooth.

4. Put to rise, covered, for about an hour and a half, until doubled in bulk.

5. Knead lightly into shape on a floured board and roll out to a square.

6. Soften the remaining butter and spread over the dough with some of the remaining sugar, then fold and roll out again.

7. Sprinkle with the rest of the sugar, the fruit and spice. Now, with the hands, roll up like a Swiss roll.

8. Cut this into slices of about 1 1/2 inches. Lay the slices flat close together on a warm, greased tin and prove in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes.

9. Sprinkle with sugar. The buns should now touch.

10. Bake in a quick oven 204.5°C (400°F) and leave until cool before separating the buns.

tip
A small Swiss roll tin is a convenient baking container as this confines the dough to a limited space.
