I’d bought the latest version of Mary Berry’s Baking Bible a few months ago. These coburg buns caught my eye, they looked so cute and easy to make. I didn’t have brioche tins so I ordered some version of them from Amazon and last Saturday evening I created my own version of Coburg buns.

Instructions

• 55g (2oz) flaked almonds
• 150g (5oz) self raising flour (I used a mixture of spelt and buckwheat flower)
• 1 level teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 level teaspoon ground mixed spice
• 1/2 level teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 level teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 55g (2oz) butter, softened
• 55g (2oz) caster sugar (I used coconut sugar)
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon golden syrup
• 4 tablespoon milk

Instructions

• Lightly grease 12 mini brioche tins
• Place a few almond flakes in the base of each tin.
• Beat all the ingredients mix for 2 minutes until the mixture is blended and smooth
• Add to the tins and bake for 15 minutes
• Leave to cool, turn out so the almond flakes on top and finish cooling on a wire rack.
