Speedy Cinnamon & Choc Scones

1. Preheat oven to 220ºC (200ºC fan forced). Line a baking tray with non stick baking paper.
2. Sift flour and salt into a large bowl; add mixed fruit and mix to combine. Make a well in the centre and pour in cream and lemonade; mix using a blunt knife to form a dough; turn dough onto a lightly-floured surface and knead lightly. Divide dough into two equal portions; roll each into a ball then into a circle, about 2.5cm thick, using a rolling pin. Using a sharp knife, cut each circle into 8 wedges. Place scones onto prepared tray.

Traditional Hot Cross Buns

Place your flour, yeast, sugar, allspice, cinnamon and salt in your mixing bowl and briefly mix until combined.

Add in your melted butter, warm milk, eggs and raisins.

Mix with your dough hook on medium speed for 5-7 minutes until a dough ball is formed and is coming away from the sides of the bowl.

Leave the dough covered with clingfilm in a warm place for approximately 1 hour or until doubles in size.

Knock the air out of the dough and roll it into a log before cutting it into 12 even pieces.

Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place into a grease proof paper linen baking tray (approx. 30cm x 20cm) in a 3 bun by 4 bun pattern.

Cover balls of dough with cling film again and let rise for approximately 40 minutes or until it has risen to about 70% of its original size.

Pre heat oven to 180 degrees after leaving it to rest.

Right before placing it into the oven make your cross mixture by mixing your flour and water until a thickish paste forms. Using a ziplock bag with the corner cut off or a piping bag, pipe your crosses down the center of each bun horizontally and then vertically.

Bake in the oven for approximately 20 minutes or until nice and golden brown.

Meanwhile, place jam and water in a bowl and microwave for approx. 30 seconds until melted and combines.

Once buns are fresh out the over, brush your glaze over each one to give them a beautiful glossy finish.
