Tips

  • When combining the blended mixture with the flour, if the consistency is still runny add a bit more flour - if the consistency is too thin the buns may flatten rather than stay in shape.
  • Slightly wet your hands when placing & shaping the mixture on baking tray with baking paper to avoid it sticking to your hands.
  • Self raising flour can be substituted for plain all purpose flour, if substituting for plain all purpose flour additionally add 1 Tsp of baking powder & a dash of salt.
