Oh delicious...
...the house smells divine, yeasty, toasty & fruity.Here's the recipe we used. It calls for currants but as we aren't especially fond of them we substituted with sultanas & dried apricots in a 3:1 ratio. Next time I will add a little more fruit but will have to be careful not to bog the dough down with so much fruit that it doesn't rise well. Matilda & Myles would be keen to see some chocolate chips added but I'm not so sure, am a bit of a purist when it comes to traditional baking.
Was a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon indeed...

hang in there! im a purist too and theres not many of us left! Im such a purist that i only make them on the day and wont let a bun pass our doorway until then. Purist or nazi...hmm? thanks for the recipe, im always looking for a good one and i LOVE currants! yippee!
I will undoubtedly have my MOTHER makes these on Easter. She and her husband are coming down since I won't be able to make it their way this year.
I love the idea of apricots in them! I'm so envious of your home grown apricots!
I had to look up "sultanas" because I had no clue what they were. Surprise! Golden raisins in the US. I adore them. I won't eat the regular dark ones unless forced.
Delicious looking buns, my friend!
Do you do international shipping?
Yum indeed. And I am with you; I don't like currants either. We have tried them in our scones and blech!
Those look so yummy!
Nice to find you in blog-land Kerrie!! Or rather, nice that you found me!! haha.
They certainly LOOK droolsome!! We had some store bought ones passed around at easter and I must say, too sugary for me!
Myles and Matilda are beautiful kids!!
