- Cinnamon 2 tsp
- Salt ½ tsp
For dusting:
- Caster sugar 100g

- Bring the milk to room temperature before mixing with the rest of the bun ingredients to form a strong, stretchy dough. Place in a bowl, cover with clingfilm and leave to prove for an hour.
- Tip the dough onto a lightly floured worktop and roll out to a rectangle (around 35cm x 25cm).
- Beat the filling ingredients together and spread over the dough.

- Bake the buns in the oven for 20-25 minutes until dark golden and remove from the tin to a cooling rack.
- Mix together the cinnamon and sugar and toss each bun in the mix until coated.
