Notes

Milk. I recommend having 60ml/4tbsp of milk for helping bind together your rock buns recipe. Then adding a little at a time. You can always add extra but you can’t take it away.
Currants. I used just 100g of currants and 30g of mixed peel, you can of course double this if you like a lot of them in your dough.
