As promised, here's the recipe for my Chelsea Buns:

Bread Dough
3dl warm milk
20g dried yeast
50g margarine
15g brown sugar
5 g salt
500g flour

Filling
150g margarine
150g brown sugar
150g raisins

Glaze
50g brown sugar
30ml water



I used my bread machine to make the dough and let it rise, but if you don't have one, you can also do it by hand.
Mix together all the ingredients for the dough and knead on a floured surface for about 8 minutes. Put back into the bowl and leave in a warm place to rise (about 45 mins)

Once risen, turn out onto a floured surface and push out the air. Roll out into a large rectangle.
Dot the margerine all over the surface and add brown sugar and raisins.



Roll up into a long sausage shape. Cut into 16 pieces and place in a baking tray. Cover with cling film, or a damp tea towel, and leave to rise for about 30mins. They should double in size.



Place in the oven at 180°C and cook for about 25mins.
When the chelsea buns are cooked, prepare the glaze by heating the water and sugar in a saucepan. Brush over the warm chelsea buns... et voila



A batch of yummy Chelsea Buns which will not last long!
