Sticky Buns

Ingredients
(makes 20)
For the Buns

• 1.2kg plain flour
• 500ml warm milk
• 140g sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 14g dry yeast (or 30g fresh)
• 3 eggs
• 240g melted butter, cooled
  
  

For the Filling

• 1½ cups brown sugar
• 150g melted butter
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 green apples, finely chopped
• 20g currants
• 50g sultanas
  
  

For the Frosting

• 1 cup sifted icing sugar
• Milk to bind to a drizzle consistency
• Dash vanilla extract
  
  

Method

For the Filling

Combine 120g melted butter, cinnamon, brown sugar and set aside. Heat a small pan with the remaining 30g butter, and sauté the apples until soft. Add the currants and sultanas and set aside. 

For the Buns

Dissolve the yeast into slightly warmed milk. Combine flour, sugar and salt, add the milk, eggs and butter and combine to form a soft dough, knead and then cover and allow to rise until doubled. Roll out to a rectangle shape about 1cm thick and spread over the sugar mix evenly over, and then sprinkle over the apple mix. Roll up lengthways and then cut into portions and place on a baking tray allowing a little space to prove. Allow to prove again for about 15mins, until soft to the touch. Bake at 375 for 20-25mins until golden. Drizzle with frosting and eat warm.
