- Cream the butter and sugar in one bowl. In another bowl, combine the sultanas, currants, mixed spice and apple puree.
- Lightly oil the roasting tin. Turn out the dough and knock back with your fists. Knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Roll out into a 30 cm square and dot with the butter mixture. Fold in half and roll out again into a 30 cm square. Spread with the fruit mixture, then roll up. with the seam facing down.
- Cut into 12 pieces and arrange cut-side up in the roasting tin. Cover with oiled cling film or proving bag. Leave in a warm place to rise for about 30 minutes or until pieces are touching.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 220°c/200°c Fan/Gas 7 for 25 minutes, covering the buns loosely with tin foil after 15 minutes to prevent them from browning too much. Transfer to a wire rack.
- Warm the honey for 20 seconds in the microwave and brush over the buns to glaze. Add some water to the icing sugar to form a paste. Using a teaspoon drizzle the icing over the buns. Serve warm.
