Preparation

Dough:

Combine 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) flour, sugar, undissolved yeast and salt. Beating, gradually add milk and butter; beat well for about 2 minutes. Add eggs and 1/2 cup (125 mL) more flour; beat for 2 minutes. Stir in remaining flour using a wooden spoon until soft dough forms.

Knead on floured surface for 6 to 8 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.

Roll dough out into 9 x 24-inch (23 x 60 cm) rectangle.

Filling:

Combine butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon; spread over rolled out dough. Sprinkle with currants. Roll into a long thin log; pinch seams shut. Place on buttered baking sheet and bend log into a circle, pinching dough into a closed ring. Cut dough almost all the way through into 12 equal portions. Cover loosely and let rest in warm place for 30 minutes.

Bake in 375 ºF (190 ºC) oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Glaze:

Stir together corn syrup and butter; brush over ring. Cool on rack.
