Sift the flour into a large bowl and make a well in the middle with a wooden spoon. Add the yeast, 1 tbsp sugar and 1 egg to the well. Pour in the milk, stirring in a figure of eight motion to mix it in thoroughly. Bring together into a dough using the hands, then knead for 8 mins until smooth. Place in a clean, large bowl and cover tightly with oiled cling film. Leave in a warm place for 1½ hrs until the dough has doubled in size. Grease a 30 x 20cm high-edged oven tray with butter. On a surface lightly dusted with flour, tip the dough out, then roll out to a rectangle 20 x 30cm. Layer the dough with the blackcurra­nts, then sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Roll into a sausage shape from the long end in and cut into wheels approximat­ely 5cm thick. Position the wheels cut side up, so the spirals are visible, 1cm apart on the prepared tin. Cover with cling film and let stand in a warm place to prove for 45 mins. Preheat the oven to 190°C/gas mark 5. Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl with a fork. Bake the buns for 15 mins, then brush the tops lightly with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the extra sugar. Bake for another 5 mins until golden. Allow to cool, then pull apart and serve.
