Anyone got a recipe for Iced Buns?!
Thank you
Answers: Preferably one you have tried and tested yourself as I have looked at some on google and sometimes it says plain plour, sometimes strong bread flour. Which is best for good results as the ones I recently made with plain flour came out quite stodgy!! Not sure what I did wrong as I let the dough prove for nearly an hour!
Thank you
Iced buns are just made from a teacake recipe (omit the fruit ) Icing sugar and lemon juice makes a great topping

1recipe Sweet Yeast Dough (recipe follows)
1/2cup granulated sugar
2teaspoons ground cinnamon
2tablespoons butter, melted
1/2cup raisins (optional)
2cups sifted powdered sugar
3tablespoons milk
1/2teaspoon vanilla
Preparation: 1.Prepare Sweet Yeast Dough; let rise as directed.
2.Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in small bowl; set aside. Grease 2 (9-inch) round cake pans.
3.Cut dough in half. Roll one half of dough into 12X8-inch rectangle on lightly floured surface with lightly floured rolling pin. Brush rectangle with half of melted butter; sprinkle with half of sugar mixture and half of raisins, if desired. Starting with 1 (12-inch) side, roll up jelly-roll style. (Do not roll dough too tightly because centers of rolls will pop up as they rise.) Repeat with remaining dough.
4.Cut each roll into 12 (1-inch slices) with dental floss or floured sharp knife. To use dental floss, position it under roll; bring up ends of floss, cross over center and gently pull floss to cut each slice.
5.Place slices 1/2 inch apart in prepared pans. Rolls will spread as they rise. Cover pans with towels; let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
6.Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until rolls are golden brown. Cool in pans on wire racks 5 minutes.
7.Combine powdered sugar, milk and vanilla in small bowl until smooth. Spread mixture over rolls. Serve warm.
I always used the same recipe that I used for white bread. But for the final rise, roll it out, sprinkle with cinnamon, then roll it up. Slice about 3/4" thick and lay flat on baking sheets to rise. You can also add currents, sultanas, nuts etc. either in the roll or on top.
Bake until golden. Glaze while still warm. Or let cool and frost with something thicker.
I use the following recipe and it uses plain flour and they come out well
Mini Iced Buns
Servings: Makes 24 mini buns, or 12 normal size buns
110g butter
110g Sugar
2 eggs, whisked
1/4 tsp vanilla essence
140g plain flour
1/4 tsp Baking powder
For the icing
100g icing sugar
2 tsp boiling water
1 dash of edible food colouring, optional
1 handful sweets, for decoration
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5. Cream the butter until soft, add the sugar and beat again until light and fluffy.
2. Gradually add the beaten eggs, followed by the vanilla. Fold in the flour and baking powder and spoon the cake mixture into mini bun cases sitting in mini bun trays.
3. Bake for 7-10 minutes, until golden and firm to the touch. Cool on a wire rack, before icing the cakes.
4. For the icing: sieve the sugar in a bowl and add enough water to make a coating consistency icing. Spoon onto the cakes and level off with a palette knife dipped in boiling water. Decorate with sweets before the icing sets.
5. Alternatively, to make coloured sugar sieve 100g of icing sugar into a bowl and add a few drops of food colouring. Sieve the sugar twice or three times more, or until the food colouring has tinted the sugar. Dip the top of the soft-iced bun into the coloured sugar and leave to set.
