Method

Ingredients

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Sift together the flour and baking powder. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the raisins, sultanas and orange zest and mix.

2 Add the sugar, egg and milk to make a fairly stiff dough. Add the spices and cut in using a butter knife to bring the mixture together.

3. Place spoonfuls onto a greased baking tray – don’t flatten, you want the buns to have some body and shape. Bake for 15 minutes, then set aside to cool.

4. To make the icing, combine the ingredients to make a runny icing. Add more grapefruit juice or icing sugar to correct the consistency if necessary. Add a drop of pink food colouring if you like. Drizzle over the cooled buns.
