Chelsea buns

I don't consider myself to be a great baker but want to do more of that side of things. The only baking I tend to do is bread so I thought I'd try some Chelsea buns. These featured on a UK TV programme 'The Great British Bake Off'
The Paul Hollywood recipe I utilised is at http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/chelsea_buns_01576 . I did change the dried fruit ingredients a bit using raisins, sultanas,dried peel and glacee cherries. For the icing, I added some lemon juice instead of the orange.
They also freeze well. I open froze some then popped them individually in plastic sandwich bags and then in a container. They only take about an hour to thaw.
 
Both my wife and I were very pleased with the outcome. (Sorry the picture isn't clearer, it was from my phone)
