Ingredients
  • 500g strong white flour
  • 1 x 7g sachet of fast -action yeast
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 300ml tepid water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2tsp caster sugar
  • 1 eating apple, peeled and grated and pat the excess juice from it with kitchen towell
  • 50g sultanas
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • drops of water
Instructions
  1. Place all of the dry ingredients into a large bowl, taking care not to put the salt, sugar and yeast in same place
  2. Make a well in the centre
  3. Mix the water and oil together and then pour into the well
  4. Mix well until the ingredients form a dough
  5. Take the mass of dough and place onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 - 10 minutes
  6. Then lightly grease a bowl with oil, place the kneaded dough inside and ensure it has been moved around so it is encased in oil.
  7. Cover with cling film and leave in a warm place for 1 hour to prove and rise
  8. After an hour, punch down the now (hopefully) risen dough and turn out on to a lightly floured surface and kneed in the apple and sultanas quickly as the apple is quite moist
  9. Grease a muffin tray and 2 holes in another (mine was a large muffin hole tray which has 6 holes in each) with a little oil, and divide the fruit dough into 8 balls and place inside each muffin hole.
  10. Cover loosely with cling film and return to a warm place for 30-60 minutes
  11. Pre-heat the oven to 180oC / 160oC (fan) and once the buns have finished prooving, place in the oven for about 20 minutes until brown on top and cooked
  12. Allow to cool completely before carefully removing from the tins and allow to cool completely before adding your icing!
  13. To make the icing:
  14. Mix a little water to the icing sugar - best to add a tbsp of water at a time and mix well. If too runny add some more icing sugar and mix again, you want to make a thick paste
  15. Once done, dip each bun into the icing paste upside down
  16. MIne is more of a drizzle - but I think maybe my buns were not cooled down enough!
