Method
1. Combine dry ingredients (including yeast) in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre; add wet ingredients. Mix well to form a soft dough. Knead dough for 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. 2. Please dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place for an hour to double in size. 3. Punch down dough; knead for one minute. 4. Mix filling ingredients together until well combined. 5. Divide dough into two equal portions; roll each potion into a 30x30cm square. Spread evenly with filling. 6. Fold dough in half; cut into slices at 2.5cm intervals. Twist ends in opposite directions and place on a greased baking tray; leave in a warm place to double in size (approximately 30 minutes). 7. Bake at 180C for 20-25 minutes. Cool on wire rack; ice and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar (to make icing, beat butter and icing sugar and essence together until light and fluffy, then beat in milk).

NB: Yeast that comes in individual sachets is near fool proof: rarely will you get a dud batch. However, if you are using a large container of dried yeast that had previously been opened, or just want to be safe, you can proof it by adding it to the warmed (NOT hot) milk with a pinch of sugar: if it froths, your yeast is alive
