Method

  1. Warm the milk slightly to bring to room temperature.

  3. Whisk all the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
  4. In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the eggs, honey and oil for 5 minutes until fluffy.
  5. Fold in dry ingredients and milk, mix for a further 3-4 min until it forms a dough.
  6. Use a large ice cream scoop or rounded spoon and divide the dough evenly into a baking tray, let it proof for 45 mins until it’s almost double in size.
  7. Mix the paste ingredients (until it forms a paste) and pipe crosses on to the top of the buns.
  8. Bake at 180C for 20 mins, then turn down to 160C and bake for a further 20-25 mins.
  9. Meanwhile, whisk and cook the glaze in a small pot for 5-6 mins until it bubbles and thickens.
  10. Brush the buns with the glaze when they come out of the oven.
