Mix the bread flour, salt, spices, sugar and yeast in a large bowl. In a small pan, gently warm the milk and butter over a low heat until the butter is melted. Add the zest and raisins to the pan and leave to cool for 2-3 minutes until just warm, before beating in the egg. Make a well in the flour mixture and pour in the milk mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon to make a soft dough. Bring together with your hands.
Tip the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead for about 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic (you can also do this in a freestanding mixer with a dough hook attachment). Form into a ball, put into a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean, damp tea towel. Leave in a warm place to rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Tip the risen dough onto a lightly floured work surface and flatten to knock out some of the air. Divide the dough into 9 equal pieces (around 100g each) and roll into balls. Place about 2cm apart on a baking tray lined with baking parchment and lightly cover with a clean tea towel. Allow to rise again for about 40 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200 C, gas mark 6. To make the crosses, put the plain flour plus 4 tbsp of water into a bowl and mix to form a thick paste. Spoon the paste into a piping bag fitted with a small nozzle (or use a plastic food bag with one of the bottom corners snipped off ). Pipe crosses onto the buns. Bake for 20-25 minutes until risen and golden. Warm the golden syrup in a pan and brush over the warm buns. Allow to cool a little before serving, spread with butter, if liked.
If you have any of these left over, they freeze well, or use them in our delicious recipe for hot cross bun pudding.
