Chelsea Buns

[sherrardk]

Made Chelsea buns today but had a few technical problems - are you somehow supposed to squish the currants into the dough before you roll it up (there were a lot of escapees when they were cooked) and was I supposed to stick the rolled up dough together (as they unravelled a bit when I separated them after they were cooked). Thank you.

Not sure but I am quite happy to do some quality control ! bung them this way, I will put the kettle on !

It's a while since I've made them but I brushed the rolled out sought with melted butter and then sprinkled with sugar, spice and fruit before rolling up and slicing.

Yes a few currants escaped but I pack them as a batch so unravelling has never been a problem.

How yummy!

They were delicious (if a bit of a faff - especially with 3 of the kids 'helping' me). Might just have another in a bit.

I hope you unravel it to eat, don't just bite a chunk out.......the peeling is part of the appeal :-)

I cut it open and put butter on it.
