Ingredients
275g Asda White Bread Flour, plus extra for kneading
1/2 level tsp Asda Mixed Spice
25g butter, cold from the fridge
7g pack Asda Easy Bake Yeast
75g caster sugar
1 medium free-range egg, lightly beaten
125ml semi-skimmed milk, at room temperature
24 currants
Method
1
Grease a baking tray. Pre-heat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Sift together the flour, spice, and a pinch of salt.
2
Rub in the butter using your fingers until it's like breadcrumbs.
3
Stir in the yeast and 50g sugar.
4
Add the egg and milk to the flour and mix into a sticky dough using your hands.
5
Dust a work surface and your hands with the flour. Knead the dough for 10 minutes – hold it with one hand and push it away with your other. Fold it over, turn it around and push away again. Repeat for 10 minutes.
6
Cut into 8 even-size pieces and shape into balls on the floured surface. Shape into hedgehogs, pulling out one end to make noses. Snip all over with scissors to create spines.
7
Press in currants for eyes and noses, then place the buns on the baking tray. Lay a sheet of greased cling film on top and leave in a warm place to double in size. Remove film and bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
8
For the glaze, heat 25g sugar and 3 tbsp milk in a pan, simmer for 2 minutes. Brush over the buns as soon as they come out of the oven. Cool on a wire rack.
