Hot cross buns

Yesterday in home ec we made hot cross buns. Unlike most weeks they didn't turn out great. The recipe said to use whole meal flour instead of white flour so they were baby rocks. We accidentally spilt the salt so they were very salty. this week I worked with Tanaya and Dylan. Next time we would stay on task and do better.

Recipe

1cup whole meal/ white flour
2tsp baking flour
1/2 tsp salt
2tbsp butter 
1tbsp honey
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup raisins
1/3 cup milk.

Frosting
1/2 cup icing sugar
2tsp milk
1tsp vanilla

Method.

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. ( we managed this)
Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. ( We didn't sift our flour and we used too much salt so the rolls turned out hard and salty, don't make this mistake, use white flour!)
Cut in butter with a fork until it looks like bread crumbs. ( Just like making scones, this recipe is much like spiced scones. )
Add honey, cinnamon and raisins and lightly toss. ( We did this well, the mix was even and light).
Stir it around quickly with a fork and form a ball. (The mixture did take a while to form a ball)
Divide ball into 6 small ones. ( I would recommend four balls, we did 6 and they were very small).
Cut a cross onto all of them and bake for 15-20 minutes. ( They were a little but messy when it came to the cross.)

Mix the frosting ingredients together. Pour into cross of hot buns. ( We did this very badly, we got icing everywhere.)
