Lazybones Buns (Dutch) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 cups flour
    salt
    1/2 cup milk, lukewarm
    1/2 ounce yeast
    2 ounces butter
    3 ounces currants
    1 ounce raisins
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    1 egg
    molasses
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 440\u00b0F.
    Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm milk.
    Pour the flour and salt into a bowl, make an indent in the top and pour in the milk/yeast mixture.
    Add melted butter (cooled down but still liquid).
    From the center, mix the butter in the flour, till the dough is nice and smooth.
    Set aside for 15 minutes to let it rise.
    Mix the currants, raisins, and cinnamon in with the dough, and make the dough into ten balls.
    Put the balls on a greased cookie sheet, press them down a bit and with a pair of scissors cut make four equally-spaced cuts along one side. Allow the buns to rise for another 15 minutes.
    Brush lightly beaten egg on the tops and bake the buns in a preheated oven at 440\u00b0F for about 15 minutes until they are golden brown and done. Serve warm with molasses.
