currants
🥗Healthier: dried cranberries
💰Cheaper: raisins
Dried cranberries add a tart flavor while raisins are more economical.
butter
🥗Healthier: coconut oil
💰Cheaper: margarine
Coconut oil adds a tropical flavor and is dairy-free.
milk
🥗Healthier: almond milk
💰Cheaper: water
Almond milk is a lighter alternative, while water can reduce costs.
sugar
🥗Healthier: honey
💰Cheaper: brown sugar
Honey provides natural sweetness, while brown sugar is often less expensive.
Combine warm milk and sugar in a bowl; stir until sugar dissolves.
Sprinkle yeast over the milk mixture; let it sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.
In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and spices together.
Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, eggs, and zest to the flour; mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch down the dough and fold in currants.
Divide the dough into equal pieces and shape into balls; place on a baking tray.
Cover the tray and let the buns rise until puffy, about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the cross paste by mixing flour and water; pipe crosses on the buns before baking.
Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and brush with glaze while warm.
