    2 1/4 cups self-rising flour

    1 cup milk, plus 1 tbsp extra
    1/3 cup brown sugar
    1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Lightly grease and line an 8 inch springform pan with parchment paper.
    Sift flour and 1/4 tsp salt together into a large bowl. Cut in chilled butter until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Make a well in the center and pour in 1 cup milk. Quickly mix into a soft, sticky dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently press together. Roll out to a form an 8x10 inch rectangle.
    Brush dough with melted butter and sprinkle with brown sugar and spices. Arrange apple and raisins over top, leaving a 3/4 inch border on 1 long side. Roll up lengthwise firmly. Place seam side down on a cutting board and cut into 6 slices. Arrange in prepared springform pan and brush with extra milk. Bake for 25-30 mins, until golden brown and base sounds hollow when tapped. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
    To make the glaze, sift powdered sugar into a bowl. Slowly add 1 tbsp hot water, mixing until smooth and runny. Tint with food coloring then drizzle over buns. Serve.
