Instructions

1. Put all the ingredients into the breadmaker, except the mincemeat which should go into the automatic dispenser (or added as per your manufacturer's instructions). Set to Enriched Dough menu (or equivalent around 2hr 20min).
2. About 10 minutes before the dough cycle completes, preheat the oven to 40°C. Also mix together the cross paste.
3. When the dough is ready, roll into 8 balls and place on a lightly greased baking tray. Pipe the paste to create a cross on each bun then pop into the warm oven for about 20 minutes to rise.
4. Take out the proved buns, turn up the oven to 220°C and, when it reaches that, put them back for about 15 minutes until nicely browned.
5. Meanwhile mix the glaze in a saucepan and boil for about 5 minutes to create a syrup.
6. Take the buns from the oven and immediately brush over the glaze.
