Warm the milk slightly then add the yeast and sugar, reserving the 1 tbsp of sugar.

Stir to dissolve then set aside for 10-15 minutes until you see the yeast activating and bubbling.

Meanwhile, combine all the dry ingredients, except 1/4 cup extra flour, into a bowl.

Add the eggs, Nutlex or replacement and the milk mixture and mix.

Knead with your hands or in a mixer for about 4 minutes.

Cover with a damp cloth and sit somewhere warm for approx. 40 mins or until risen and doubled in size.

Gently knock back and then place the dough onto a floured bench and divide into 9 equal pieces. Roll into balls and place onto a lined baking tray, 2cm apart. Cover the tray with a damp cloth and leave somewhere warm to rise again and double in size.

Preheat oven to 170C.

Meanwhile, mix the reserved 1/4 cup of flour with 1 tbsp of sugar, 1/4 tsp mixed spice and 2 tbsp water to form a thick paste. Spoon this into a small piping bag and once the buns have risen, pipe across the rows to make crosses on each.

Bake for approx. 30 minutes until lightly coloured and spring when pressed.

While the buns are baking, reduce the orange juice and sugar by half in a small pot. Once you remove the buns from the oven. generously brush the orange syrup all over the buns so it soaks in.

Cool Slightly and enjoy. Store in an airtight container at room temp.
