Who doesn’t love an iced bun? Even better, how about a homemade iced bun. These ones temper the sometimes over-sweet flavour thanks to YQ wheat flour and a little malt, while the raspberry icing ensures they retain their retro look.
- 1 cup malt powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup raspberry preserves
- Olive oil for greasing
- Seasoning (optional)
- Dried spices (optional)
1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the malt powder, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, milk, and egg until well combined.
4. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring constantly until a dough forms.
5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for a few minutes until smooth.
6. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness and use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles.
7. Place the circles onto a greased baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. While the buns are baking, make the raspberry icing by combining the powdered sugar and raspberry preserves in a small bowl. Mix until it forms a smooth and thick glaze.
9. Once the buns are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
10. Once slightly cooled, drizzle the raspberry icing over the buns using a spoon or piping bag.
11. If desired, sprinkle with seasoning or dried spices for added flavor.
12. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious malt iced buns with raspberry icing!
