Pre-heat your oven to 200°C / 180°C fan / gas mark 6. Sieve the flour then combine with all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.

Gently melt the butter then combine with all the wet ingredients in a large jug. Mix the wet ingredients with the dry and stir gently to just combine - don't over mix.

Spoon the mixture into a large well-greased muffin tin or muffin cases.

Mix the remaining flour and water to a smooth paste, then spoon into a plastic food bag or piping bag.  Snip a very small hole in the corner and pipe a cross onto each bun (make sure the hole is very small so your crosses aren’t too thick).

Bake for around 20-25mins until golden and cooked through.  Allow to cool before serving.

Serve still slightly warm from the oven, cut open and spread with a little unsalted butter.  

Little ones can easily get involved with this recipe, weighing the ingredients, mixing, and spooning the mixture out.
