Method

Combine the flour with yeast, Chelsea Caster Sugar, salt, spice and currants. Heat the milk and stir though the butter until it melts. Add the wet ingredients to dry and bring together until you have a wet dough.
Using the dough hook of an electric mixer or by hand, knead until you have a smooth dough.
Leave the dough to rest in a large, oiled bowl (covered with a damp tea towel) for about an hour or until doubled in size.
Now is when you can get the kids really involved ... Have them pull small pieces of dough off and roll into nuggets about the size of a golf ball. Place these about 2cm apart on a baking tray. Cover and leave for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced) and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until golden.
Heat the glaze ingredients together in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to the boil then reduce heat and let bubble away for a couple of minutes.
Brush the rolls gently with this wash while still warm and sprinkle with the poppy seeds. Serve with butter jam.
