Here is how you make Black Bun:

Sift flour and salt together, rub in the butter. Cream yeast with sugar, when it bubbles, add to flour with water. Knead well on a floured surface, cover, allow to stand in a warm place until doubled in volume. Mix the currants, raisins, prunes, figs (or dates), almonds, marmalade, whisky and spices together. Take two thirds of the dough, flatten on a floured surface, place the filling mixture on top. Knead the dough and mixture together until incorporated. Roll out the remaining dough into a circle. Place the filling mixture into the centre and wrap completely, drawing together edges in the centre and pinch. Invert (pinched side down), place in a 25-30cm (10-12 inch) cake tin, which has been lined with greaseproof paper. Allow to stand in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, to prove. Pierce with a skewer several times. Beat together the egg yolk and milk, brush over the bun to glace. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180°C: 350°F: Gas 4 for 2 hours. Allow to cool before cutting and eating. Number of Servings: 20Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CELTIC_WITCH.
