How to Make Bath Buns

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Stir in the currants and mixed peel.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for a few minutes until smooth.
7. Roll out the dough to about ½ inch thickness and use a 2-inch cookie cutter or knife to cut out the buns.
8. Place the buns in the prepared baking pan, leaving a little space between each.
9. Brush the tops of the buns with the beaten egg.
10. Sprinkle generously with crushed sugar.
11. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
12. Let the buns cool slightly in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
