Ingredients

2 cup self-raising flour

30 gram butter, chopped

1/4 cup sultanas

2 tablespoon sugar

3/4 cup milk

1 egg

1 tablespoon boiled water

1 tablespoon caster sugar

Icing

1 cup icing sugar, sifted

1 tablespoon boiled water

1 teaspoon butter

few drops pink food colouring

Method

1.Preheat oven to very hot 220°C (200°C fan-forced). Lightly grease a baking tray.

2.Sift flour into a large bowl. Add butter. Using fingertips, lightly rub in until well combined. Stir in sultanas and sugar.

3.Make a well in the centre of flour mixture. In a jug, whisk together milk and egg. Pour into well all at once, reserving 1 tablespoon. Using a palette knife, quickly mix to soft, sticky dough. Do not over-mix.

4.Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly. Break dough into 9 even-sized pieces. Roll into finger-bun shapes.

5.Place buns close together on prepared tray. Brush with reserved milk mixture. Bake 12-15 minutes, until buns sound hollow when tapped.

6.Remove from oven. In a jug, combine water and caster sugar and brush over buns. Allow to cool on a wire rack.

7.To make icing: in a bowl, combine icing sugar, water and butter. Add food colouring, as desired, and mix well. Spread a strip down the centre of each bun.
