Easy Chelsea Buns - Orange & Chocolate, sticky..

Step 1

Put the flour, sugar, salt & yeast into a bowl

Step 2

In another bowl mix the melted butter, beaten egg and warm milk

Step 3

Add the liquids to the flour mix and mix well. If you have a food mixer use the dough hook and mix for 8-10 mins. If you don't knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic - give it some :-)

Step 4

Then roll out on a floured board using a rolling pin to a size of approx. 25cm x 35 cm (or in English approx. 10 x 14 inches)

Step 5

Blend Orange conserve , golden syrup and choc chips together in a small bowl

Step 6

Spread the mix over the rolled out dough leaving about 2cm / 3/4 inch along the long side, wet that side with water

Step 7

Carefully roll up into a sausage (it will be messy - don't worry) - seal at the edge carefully. Then slice into 10 - 12 pieces

Step 8

Place pieces into the buttered tin, evenly spaced, cut side up

Step 9

Cover with greased cling film and leave in a warm place for min 1 hour - buns should almost double in size

Step 10

Preheat the oven 200C/400F/gas mark 6

Step 11

Remove greased cling film and pop in oven for 20-25 mins until golden

Step 12

Remove from oven, brush with Golden syrup - remove from tin and cool on wire tray (if you can wait)
