**Ingredients:**
– 4 cups all-purpose flour
– ¼ cup granulated sugar
– 1 packet active dry yeast
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
– ½ teaspoon ground allspice
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¾ cup whole milk
– ¼ cup butter (unsalted)
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup currants or raisins
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Zest of one orange
– ¼ cup warm water
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
**Steps to Conquer:**
1. **Activate the Yeast:**
Pour the warm water into a bowl and dissolve the yeast. Set it aside until it gets foamy. This is where the magic starts—transformation begins with activation.
2. **Mix Dry Ingredients:**
In a colossal mixing bowl, combine your flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Winners prepare their environment; they don’t wait for perfect conditions.
3. **Heat Milk and Butter:**
In a saucepan, heat your milk until it’s almost boiling. Toss in the butter to melt. Real champions know how to handle heat.
4. **Combine and Conquer:**
Pour the milk mixture into your dry ingredients, add the yeast, and crack in those glorious eggs. Add the vanilla, and stir until the dough starts to pull together. Now, fold in the currants or raisins and the orange zest—true icons are always prepared with a hint of zest.
5. **Knead Like a Champion:**
On a floured surface, knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic. This is your defining moment—kneading strength into every bite.
6. **Rise to the Occasion:**
Let the dough rise in a greased bowl, covered with a damp cloth, until it doubles in size. Remember, greatness takes time.
7. **Shape Your Destiny:**
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each into a bun and place them on a greased baking tray. Let them rise again—winners always rise to the top.
8. **Make the Cross:**
Mix a little flour and water into a paste, pipe a cross on each bun. Every cross represents the mark of a true champion.
9. **Bake and Dominate:**
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until they’re golden brown. As they bake, visualize your victory.
10. **Ice Like a Boss:**
Mix the powdered sugar and milk into a smooth icing. Once buns are cool, drizzle that glorious icing cross. Symbols of perfection.
