Enriched with dairy that wasn't permitted in the Lenten diet, filled with fruit and spices, and marked with the sign of the cross, they're so pleasurable to eat that Queen Elizabeth I felt the need for a rule that the buns could only be sold on two days. When the buns have risen, remove the polythene bag and the greaseproof paper. Spoon the flour mixture into a piping bag (or a plastic food bag with a corner snipped away) and pipe a cross on each bun. Mix the rum or apple juice with the dried fruit and raisins, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave briefly, just till the fruit and liquid are very warm, and the plastic starts to "shrink wrap" itself over the top of the bowl.
