Finger buns

An eggless recipe.

Ingredients (makes 14 to 16):
600g plain flour
4 tsp instant yeast
2 tbsp caster sugar
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp vanilla essence
100g sultanas or raisins
80g mixed peel
50g shredded coconut or mixed nuts
400ml milk or water
80g butter
50ml extra milk, for glazing
Icing sugar for dusting

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 200 deg C. Put all ingredients, except the extra milk and icing sugar into a mixing bowl.
2. Mix and knead to form a smooth pliable dough. Cover bowl and leave aside for about 45 minutes, or until dough doubles in size. Knead dough for about 5 minutes. Divide into 14 to 16 portions. Roll and shape each portion into a 12cm long piece.
3. Place the buns on prepared baking trays, leaving space for the dough to rise. Leave aside for 10 minutes or until the dough has risen. Bake buns in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Brush with milk immediately and leave to cool on wire rack. Sprinkle with icing sugar when cool.
