Chelsea Buns

I made these apricot and cranberry chelsea buns based on a couronne recipe on a blog for food tech coursework.  For those who don't know, a couronne is kind of like a big chelsea bun ring so that wasn't a big change (I almost follwed the recipe, honestly!). The recipe is based on Paul Hollywood's classic couronne recipe but using cranberries instead of raisins. Its yummy! Mine were a little dense because I didn't have enough time to let them prove properly but they're still very good.

 The units are slightly unusual; most of the ingredients are given in grams and cups but then you get to 1/2 cup cranberries. I am not in the slightest familiar with using cups (the system makes no sense to me!) and was not sure how big a 'cup' should be (cups come in different sizes, which one are they referring to?!). The apricot definitely dominated the flavour and could have done with more cranberries, but that was probably due to my guess work in quantities. 

Thre only other thing I changed was adding a honey glaze to the top after baking, definitely recommended! Overall good recipe.
