Ingredients:

1/4 Teaspoonful of salt
2 Envelopes of instant yeast
1/4 Teaspoonful of extract cinnamon
1/2 Cup of Cocoa
4 Cups of flour
1/3 Cup of sugar
2 Tablespoonfuls of butter
1 Egg
1 Cup of very hot milk
1/2 Cup of warm water (or as much as is needed to get a dough that can be handled easily)
1 Cup of currents

Instruction:

Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl
Melt the butter.
Beat the egg.
Mix the butter, egg, milk and water to form a soft dough that can be easily handled.
Knead the dough for about 1 minute.
Turn onto molding board, roll into a square about an inch in thickness and sprinkle on one-half cup of the currants.
Fold the sides to meet the center and then the bottom and top ends to center.
Fold as at first, using another one-half cup currants.
Cover the bowl with cling wrap and leave in a hot place to rise until it has doubled in size.
Knock the dough down.
Shape the dough into the required shape for your buns, place them on a greased baking tray, cover and let them rise again until doubled in size.
Pre-heat the oven to 350oF . Bake fifteen to twenty minutes.
As you take them from oven, brush the tops of your buns with the white of one egg beaten with one-half cup confectioners' sugar. Let them stand five minutes.
Now they are ready to serve.
