Ingredients
- 1/4 cup lukewarm water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup currants
- 2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine warm water and 1 tablespoon of the sugar, then sprinkle yeast over top. Let it stand 10 minutes or until the mixture becomes frothy.
- While waiting, in a large bowl, blend together remaining sugar, flour, and salt. In small bowl, whisk together milk, butter, eggs. Stir in yeast mixture until combined.
- Make a well indentation in the dry ingredients; using wooden spoon, stir in yeast mixture until soft dough forms. Turn out on to lightly floured board. Knead until 8 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic.
- Transfer dough to large greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest in a warm place for one hour or until doubled in bulk. Punch down; turn out onto floured surface; knead in currants. Shape into a 12 inch long log. Cut dough into 12 equal pieces.
- Roll pieces of dough into smooth, seamless balls. Place buns on greased baking sheet leaving about 2 inches between each bun. Cover loosely and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Bake in 400 degree F over for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Stir together confectioners' sugar and water; brush over warm buns; let cool on rack. Makes 12 buns.
