I have to rate this a 5 because I've never made buns before and even though I screwed up a little they still managed to turn out! First of all, I used just water as my milk powder was rancid, and I had already started adding ingredients to my bread machine. Then, I forgot to add the raisins while it was kneading, so I tried adding them in at the end but that didn't work so well, most of them just fell off! When they were done baking, they were really nice and golden. The trick of putting the icing for the crosses into a sandwich bag worked like a charm. I discovered at the end that I forgot the cinnamon as well! They still tasted good. I didn't find them to be heavy at all, however, my buns turned out pretty big, next time I will make 15 buns instead of 12. I was worried with my mistakes that it would be a flop but it was fine. I think next time I will use just water again without adding the milk powder - I have used other bread recipes on here that didn't require milk/milk powder and they had the best results in my machine. Thanks for the recipe! Update: I made these a second time. I put the raisins in at the beep (instead of the last 5 minutes) and it totally pulvarized my raisins and made the bread look brown. Definitely follow what the recipe says! I also made 15 instead of 12 and although they looked nicer, this batch was definitely more dry. I will keep just using water though.
