then, having formed a well in the centre of the dry mixture, incorporate the butter, egg yolks and milk and combine until a soft dough is formed.
turn this out onto a floured surface and roll into a rectangle which is about 20 x 25cm.
mix the filling ingredients together then spread this evenly over the dough and roll it up along the longest side to form a log.
using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 even-sized slices and place into the prepared tin.
brush the extra milk on top and bake for 30-35 mins or until the rolls are golden brown in colour.
let them cool, out of the oven, for 5 mins before removing from the tin.
