Maple and pecan hot cross buns

These traditional treats are extra tasty with our sweet and nutty special twist.

Ingredients

  • 500g strong white flour
  • 2 tsp mixed spice
  • pinch of salt
  • 7g sachet Allinson Easy Bake Yeast
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 50g butter, melted
  • 150ml milk
  • 150ml boiling water
  • 100g dried mixed fruit
  • 75g pecan nuts, chopped
  • 75g plain flour
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup

Method

  1. Sift the strong white flour and mixed spice into a warmed bowl and stir in the salt and yeast with 2 tsp of the sugar. Mix together the butter, milk and water, pour into the dry ingredients and mix to a soft dough.
  2. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead well for 5 minutes. Return to a clean, lightly oiled bowl, cover loosely with cling film and leave in a warm place for 1 hour until the dough doubles in size.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured work surface. Mix the remaining sugar, dried fruit and pecans together and knead into the dough until evenly distributed.
  4. Divide into 12 balls and place well apart on a lightly oiled baking tray (you might need 2 trays). Cover loosely with oiled cling film and leave to prove in a warm place until the buns rise.
  5. Sift the plain flour into a bowl and mix to a paste with cold water. Spoon into a piping bag and pipe a cross on each bun. Bake in an oven preheated to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6 for 25 minutes. As soon as the buns come out, brush with maple syrup.
