Teacakes by Allinson's

About the bake
These Teacakes fill our kitchens with the most delicious smell and taste just as good. A great recipe for beginners, we like ours toasted and smothered in butter and jam. Made in just six steps with Allinson's sweet dough. For fans of savoury bakes, try our Wholemeal bagels, made with Allinson's wholemeal dough-perfect for breakfast.
Method
Step 1:
MIX
Bring the milk to the boil, then remove from the heat and add the butter. Leave to cool until it reaches hand temperature. Mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a big bowl. Mix the milk and the beaten egg into the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon.Step 2:
KNEAD Tip onto a lightly flour dusted surface and knead for 10 minutes (or use the dough hook attachment on your mixer).
Step 3:
RISE
Lightly grease the mixing bowl with some oil. Put the dough back in, cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and leave to rise until doubled in size – up to 2 hours depending on how warm your kitchen is.Step 4:
SOAK
Mix the tea with the dried fruit in a small pan. Bring to the boil, then turn off the heat and leave to soak.Step 5:
SHAPE
Drain the fruit and pat dry with kitchen paper. Knead into the dough. Cut the dough into 8 even pieces (use a weighing scales if you like). Roll each piece into a ball, dust the Yorkshire pudding tins with a little flour and sit a ball in each hole.Step 6:
PROVE
Cover the dough again with a clean tea towel and leave to prove until almost doubled in size again. Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan, gas mark 4.)Step 7:
BAKE
Dust a little more flour over the buns. Bake the buns for 20 minutes or until golden. If you tap the base of a roll it should sound hollow.

Recipe Reviews
Also added some mixed spice from a different recipe. Make sure you dry off the fruit well before mixing in. I made that mistake first time. Great results and the grand kids can't get enough of them.
Delicious. I've made the twice. The second time I added a TSP of mixed spice and used earl grey even better. So easy especially in the kitchen aid
Having frozen one I popped it in the oven for 20 mins at 150. This gave it a thin crispy crust while perfect inside. Thanks for the recipe.
Lovely soft dough, i used cranberries
I'm now on my fourth bake. Each one has worked out very well. We need to avoid dairy products, so while keeping to the same quantities, I've used block dairy free 'butter' and unsweetened oat milk (these vary a lot so best to experiment as to make, I use 'Acti leaf'). I vary what I soak the fruit in, so far to always include some alcohol e.g. orange liqueur! I find I make 8 or 9 teacakes which are a good size, including depth. I also add a heaped teaspoon of mixed spice to the mix.
I added mixed spice . Delicious
