When cycle is finished remove from machine, add 1 cup mixed fruit and form into about 12 balls. Space evenly and allow to rise.
For the crosses - Combine 1/2C flour with 1/4tsp baking powder, then add enough milk to make a batter that can easily be piped onto buns.

The 'World's Best Cake' Pudding
Master Apprentice loved this - and would easily be able to make it... quick - microwaveable, and few ingredients... Miss Apprentice liked it too - and she doesn't do cake usually!
Topping
1 can (425g) peaches or pears
1T butter
1t custard powder
1T juice from canned fruit
2T golden syrup
Cake
50g butter
1/2 C brown sugar
1 egg
1C flour
2T cocoa
1/2t baking soda
juice from canned fruit
Drain fruit in sieve, and save juice.
Melt butter for topping in lightly sprayed microwave ring pan. Stir in custard powder, golden syrup and juice. Microwave on high for 40-50 seconds until mixture boils and thickens slightly.
Arrange fruit around dish (on topping liquid).
To make cake soften butter and beat with sugar and egg (with fork, electric beaters or food processor). Sift dry ingredients into thi smixture. Add about 2T reserved juice, and mix until batter is soft enough to drop from spoon. (I used nearly all reserved juice).
Drop spoonfuls of batter onto fruit and topping liquid. Don't worry if it isn't even as it will spread during cooking.
Cover with lid, or vented plastic film, or I used baking paper...
Place in microwave on rack, or upturned plate.
Cook on Medium/High (70%) for 10-12 minutes until mixture closest to central cone is cooked.
Leave to stand for two to three minutes, then turn onto flat plate. Serve with icecream, or plain...
