The Clover Seedburst Hot Cross Muffins Method:

1. Firstly, line nine holes of a 12-hole muffin tin with large muffin paper cases or 14cm squares of baking paper to overhang the tin.
2. Place the flour, salt, sugar and spices in a large bowl and mix together. Add the Clover Seedburst and rub in using your fingertips.
3. Stir in the yeast, fruit mix and cherries.
4. Warm the milk until just luke warm, then beat in the eggs.
5. Stir into the flour mixture, to form a soft dough.
6. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, knead lightly and divide into 9 equal sized pieces. Shape each into a round ball and drop into the cases.
7. Cover the tin loosely with lightly oiled cling film and leave in a warm place, for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
8. Preheat the oven to 200˚C, Gas Mark 6. For the crosses blend the flour in a small bowl with the water to make a smooth paste.
9. Spoon into a small piping bag and snip off the end.
10. Pipe a cross on the top of each bun
11. Bake for 15- 18 minutes until risen and nicely browned and transfer to a cooling rack.
12. Warm the golden syrup in a small pan and generously brush the top of each bun.
13. Serve warm or cold spread with Clover Seedburst. The buns are best eaten the day they are made.

So yummy.
