Sticky Buns

Wonderfully sticky buns with a delicious filling!

Ingredients

100 g Butter
½ Packet of yeast
200 ml Semi-skimmed milk
80 g Light muscovado sugar
1 tsp Ground cardamom
1 Egg
½ tsp Salt
450 g Wheat flour (save a little for baking)

Filling

75 g Butter (room temperature)
240 g Caster sugar
2 tbsp Ground cinnamon

For Brushing

1 Egg

Glaze

75 g Icing sugar
2½ tbsp Water
1 tsp Vanilla sugar

Instructions

Step 1

  • Put the yeast in a bowl. Melt the butter in a pan and add the milk, heat to a maximum of 37 °C. Pour the liquid over the yeast.

Step 2

  • Add the sugar, cardamom, egg, salt and most of the flour. Mix to a smooth dough and leave covered for about 30 minutes.

Step 3

  • Using an electric whisk mix the butter, sugar and cinnamon together to make the creamy filling.

Step 4

  • Grease a baking tray about 20x30 cm. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll out to a rectangle, about 50x30 cm.

Step 5

  • Spread the filling on the dough and roll up into a long roll. Cut the roll into 16 pieces. Put them on the baking tray with the cut surface upwards and leave to rise under a cloth for about 1-1 ½ hours.

Step 6

  • Heat the oven to 225 °C. Brush the buns with beaten egg and bake in the middle of the oven for 18-20 minutes.

Step 7

  • Mix the icing sugar, water and vanilla sugar to form a glaze and then swirl over the warm buns.
Enjoy!
