賞螢

內灣村東窩溪，置身美麗星海東窩溪螢火蟲生態區是大家最熟悉的了，整個螢火蟲復育區面積寬廣，只要沿著內灣派出所後面的道路往上走，往東窩溪的路程中爬了一小段階梯，每年四、五月期間，這裡會聚集上萬隻螢火蟲，彷彿置身在「星海」中。這裡以常見的黑翅螢為主，隨著越往山中走去，螢火蟲的數量更多，兩旁都是一閃一閃的的亮光，這裡也會舉辦螢火蟲生態活動，提供給生態保育的常識。

騎龍古道，滿天螢光飛舞沿著騎龍古道途經廢棄新豐二號橋、一號橋後，再往豐鄉國小的路上，這裡的山谷樹林中，在每年四、五月中，也會有螢火蟲聚集，由於地形環境不同，所以和內灣東窩溪的環境相異，這裡的夜晚十分寧靜，不僅可見發光的黑翅螢，也可聽陣陣的昆蟲聲，共同編織出夜之交響曲。

2. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead for 10 minutes, or until dough is smooth. Place into a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm, draught-free place for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until dough doubles in size.
3. Line a large baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Punch dough down to its original size. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Divide into 12 even portions. Shape each portion into a ball. Place balls onto lined tray, about 1cm apart. Cover with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm, draught-free place for 30 minutes, or until buns double in size. Preheat oven to 190°C.
4. Make flour paste: Mix flour and water together in a small bowl until smooth, adding a little more water if paste is too thick. Spoon into a small snap-lock bag. Snip off 1 corner of bag. Pipe flour paste over tops of buns to form crosses. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until buns are cooked through.
5. Make glaze: Place water and sugar into a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil. Boil for 5 minutes. Brush warm glaze over warm hot cross buns. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Very easy to make but I agree with everyone else that you do need to add more spice. I put in 3 tsp mixed spice and a tsp of cinnamon and it could have done with a little more. Also I will add a little more fruit next time but other than that, they were great. My Mum has now decided not to buy any at all next year and I can make them....maybe I shouldn't be thanking you after all.
