Chelsea Buns

1 cup milk, 1 egg, 50g melted butter, 500g plain white flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 75g sugar, 2 tsp dried yeast.

Into the bread machine to do its thing and make the dough for you.

Now, usually chelsea buns are filled with dried fruit but our kids aren't that keen on that so I do lemon marmalade and chopped white chocolate instead. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread whatever filling you're making, roll up into very large sushi roll and cut cylinders to stack tree-ring wise in a baking tray. Allow to rise. Bake on high until they're lightly coloured.

As soon as they come out, lather them over in a mix of orange blossom water and sugar (you'll need to heat it to get the sugar to melt) so they're sticky and delicious. Turn the little suckers out and separate them while they're still warm.

I think I have yet to meet someone who didn't go crazy about these.
