Time 55m

Yield 15 buns

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups flour, strong
3 teaspoons dried yeast
1/4 cup sugar
60 g butter
1 egg
1 1/2 cups milk
2 cups coconut milk

Steps:

  • To make the buns place the flour, yeast and sugar in a bowl.
  • Melt the butter and add the milk. When warm add the egg and beat well.
  • Pour this into the flour mix and form into a soft dough.
  • Turn out and knead until smooth and shiny - about 10 minutes.
  • Place in an oiled bowl and roll the dough around until its covered in the oil.
  • Cover with cling wrap and leave until double in size.
  • Turn out and knock down. Divide into 15 pieces and shape each into a smooth bun shape.
  • Place in greased/oiled cake pan so they are just touching and set aside to rise again until doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven to 180°C.
  • Pour over coconut milk. It should just cover the buns. Bake for 35-40 mins or until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and eat while still warm.
