Taking inspiration from the GBBO doing buns this week, I reprised the fruit/cinnamon ones from a few weeks' ago. If I'm honest, they need some refining -- the main problem being that I am over-filling them with fruit, so that it all falls out the bottom when they come out of the oven. I need either to mix the fruit actually into the dough (probably not ideal for soft fruits) or take a leaf out of Brendan's book (already identified as GBBO legend) and make a smoother, paste-like filling that just sticks the swirl together (see his poppy-seed bunskis), rather than overwhelming it with whole fruits. But the latter does look lovely in the baking tray, waiting to go in. And even if they do fall apart and look rubbish afterwards, they taste nice and feel like a treat.
