Method

Step 1 of 6

Whisk milk, yeast and 2 teaspoon of the sugar in a jug. Set aside in a warm place for 10 minutes or until frothy.

Step 2 of 6

Sift flour into a bowl. Stir in remaining sugar and salt. Using your fingertips, rub butter into flour until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add yeast mixture and egg. Stir until combined. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes or until smooth. Place into a greased bowl, cover with plastic and stand in a warm place for 40 minutes or until doubled in size.

Step 3 of 6

Preheat oven to 200°C.

Step 4 of 6

Grease a 22cm-square cake tin. Combine sultanas, sugar, cinnamon and orange rind in a bowl. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and roll out to form a 36x30cm rectangle. Reserve 2 teaspoons of the extra butter and spread remainder over dough. Sprinkle sultana mixture evenly over butter. Roll up dough from long side. Cut into 3cm-thick slices to make 12 slices. Place cut-side down into prepared tin, side-by-side, slightly apart. Stand for 20 minutes to rise.

Step 5 of 6

Spread remaining butter over buns. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Stand for 10 minutes. Transfer buns to a wire rack to cool.

Step 6 of 6

To prepare icing, sift icing mixture into a bowl. Add butter and milk and stir until combined and smooth. Add drops of food colouring to reach desired colour. Drizzle icing over buns and serve.
