Small iced buns

Small iced finger buns are a delightful treat that can be enjoyed anytime. Whether you’re having tea or coffee, these small buns make for the perfect accompaniment. They are light and fluffy on the inside with a slightly crunchy outer layer and topped off with sweet icing. Not too sweet, but just enough to give them an extra special touch.

Ingredients

Each bun is made with quality ingredients that ensure they stay fresh and delicious for longer. The sweet icing, soft dough, and crunchy exterior all work together to create the perfect bite-sized treat. You won’t find any artificial flavours here either, as only natural ingredients are used in each recipe.

For 12 servings, you will need the following:

500 g Strong White Flour
275 ml Milk
7 g Dried Yeast
230 g Icing Sugar
1 Egg
1 tbsp Vanilla Extract (or vanilla bean paste)
50 g Blueberries (or strawberries, ½ lemon or orange)
1½ tbsp Olive Oil

Variations

Enjoy them plain, or add your own toppings like sprinkles, chopped nuts, or mini-chocolate chips. Or cut them in half and add some fresh cream and raspberry jam!

How to make one tray of iced buns

Add the flour, yeast, pinch of salt and 30g of the icing sugar to a mixing bowl. Mix and make a well in the middle. Add most of the egg to the well, leaving some for egg washing.
Now add the olive oil, milk and vanilla extract in the middle and mix with a fork. Now bind everything together using a mixer or by hand to form a dough. Keep kneading for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Lightly oil the bowl and leave to rise for an hour or until doubled its size.
Knock out the air and divide into 12 pieces. Roll back and forth each dough piece until you have a finger-shaped dough. Place onto an oiled tray about 25cm x 30 cm in size. Cover and leave to double its size for about 30 minutes in a warm place.
Preheat the oven to 180℃fan/200℃. Brush the bun tops with eggwash and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Leave to cool on the tray.
Mash the blueberries and add the juice to half of the icing sugar. In another bowl, add some lemon juice and the rest of the icing sugar. Mix each bowl until smooth, and spoon the mixture on top of the buns.

Storage

Iced buns should always be stored at room temperature in an airtight container or bag. Make sure to keep them away from direct heat and sunlight if possible, as this can impact their taste and texture. You can also store them in the refrigerator, but they will last longer if kept at room temperature. For best results, consume within two days of making for maximum freshness.
