Steps:
- Heat milk in a small saucepan to 110 degrees F (43 degrees C); pour milk into a bowl. Whisk 1/2 cup flour and yeast into milk; cover with plastic wrap and let stand until bubbly, about 15 minutes.
- Place 1 2/3 cups flour, 1/3 cup white sugar, salt, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg into the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment; turn mixer on for a few seconds on low speed to combine. Place butter into flour mixture; mix on low speed until incorporated, about 2 minutes.
- Place yeast mixture and egg into flour mixture; mix on low speed for 2 minutes. Stop mixer and allow to rest for 10 minutes; mix on medium speed until smooth and elastic, about 2 minutes. At slowest speed, mix currants and citron into dough until evenly distributed, about 1 minute.
- Butter the inside of a large bowl; place dough in bowl, turn to butter dough on all sides. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat dough into a rough square, and cut into 12 equal pieces. Form each piece into a round bun; place on prepared baking sheet. Press a cross into each bun with the back of a knife; cover buns with a damp cloth and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bake buns in the preheated oven until deep golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- Bring 2 tablespoons white sugar with 1 tablespoon water to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove buns from oven; lift parchment and transfer buns to a wire rack. Brush immediately with sugar glaze; allow buns to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
- Stir confectioners' sugar and remaining 2 teaspoons water together in a small bowl; heat icing mixture in microwave until smooth and warm to the touch, about 10 seconds. Place icing in a sandwich bag, snip off one corner of the bag, and pipe in a cross over fully cooled buns; allow icing to dry for 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Combine the water and milk in a medium saucepan and warm over low heat until about 100 degrees F (but no more than 110 degrees). Remove from heat and sprinkle the yeast and a pinch of sugar and flour over the surface of the liquid. Set aside without stirring, until foamy and rising up the sides of the pan, about 30 minutes.
- Whisk the butter, egg yolk and vanilla into the yeast mixture.
- Whisk the flour, the remaining sugar, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour and stir in the yeast mixture with a wooden spoon to make a thick, shaggy, and slightly sticky dough. Stir in currants. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until soft and elastic, about 8 minutes. Shape into a ball.
- Brush the inside of a large bowl with butter. Put dough in bowl, turning to coat lightly with butter. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 hour 30 minutes. (If you have a marker, trace a circle the size of the dough on the plastic, and note the time to help you keep track.)
- To form the rolls: Butter a 9 by 14-inch baking pan. Turn the dough out of the bowl and pat into a rectangle about 16 by 8 inches. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions, about 2 ounces each, with a pizza wheel or bench scraper. (If you don't have a scale, divide the dough in half lengthwise, then in half crosswise. Cut each of those four sections into 3 equal-sized rolls.)
- Tuck the edges of the dough under to make round rolls and place them seam-side down in the prepared pan, leaving a little space in between each roll. Cover the pan with buttered plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until the rolls rise almost to the rim of the pan and have more than doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
- Remove the plastic wrap and brush the tops of the buns with beaten egg. Bake rolls until golden brown and puffy, and an instant read thermometer inserted into the center of the rolls registers 190 degrees F, about 25 minutes.
- For the glaze: Stir together confectioners' sugar, milk, lemon zest and vanilla until smooth. Transfer icing to a zip bag or pastry bag, and make a small cut in the corner of the bag. Ice buns in a thick cross shape over the top of the warm buns.

Steps:
- 1. The previous evening weigh out raisins, put in suitable container and cover with boiling water. The next day put both the flours, sugar, salt mixed spice, nutmeg and yeast into a large bowl and mix well. Add the butter and rub in to the mix until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- 2. Drain the raisins (discard the water) and stir into the flour mix. Make a well in the centre and pour in the warm milk and eggs. Gradually draw the flour into the liquid to make a very soft dough.
- 3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead thoroughly for 10 minutes. If the dough is very sticky, knead in a little extra white bread flour until it no longer sticks to your fingers. Return the dough to the bowl and cover with a damp cloth and leave in a warm room until doubled in size - about 1 hour.
- 4. Knock back the risen dough on a lightly floured work surface and divide into 12 pieces and shape them into balls. Place balls of dough on a prepared baking tray (well greased with butter) making sure you set them well apart. You need to cover in Clingfilm and leave to double in size again - about 45 minutes or overnight if you place in the fridge. You also need to make sure the plastic does not touch the dough. I use a cup in each corner and wrap the Clingfilm over that.
- 5. Heat the oven to 200C. To make the cross. Option 1: Sift the flour, salt and sugar into a bowl and cut in the butter until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the beaten egg and combine until it forms a dough. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Roll out on a lightly floured surface quite thinly (about 2-3mm) and cut into 24 strips about 7 inches long. Option 2: Mix the flour and water to make a smooth thick paste that can be piped. Spoon the paste into a piping bag or tube.
- 6. When the buns have risen, uncover them and make a cross on each one with either the pastry strips or by piping. Place the baking tray of buns in the oven for about 15 - 20 minutes, until golden brown.
- 7. Meanwhile, make the sticky glaze by heating the milk and sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Boil for 1 minute and then brush over the buns as soon as you take them out of the oven. Transfer to a wire rack and cool. To serve: cut in half and toast, then smother in butter.
- 8. If you used option 1 for the cross you will have some left over pastry - I make https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/dessert-fruit-dessert/english-jam-tarts.html with mine. be aware this pastry shrinks so do not fill the tarts more than half full.
