Mary Berry Coffee Buns Ingredients
For the Buns
- 1½ level tsp instant coffee granules
- 3 large eggs
- 10 tbsp (5 oz/140g) margarine, from fridge
- ½ cup plus 1 tbsp (5 oz/150g) superfine sugar
- 1¼ cups (5 oz/150g) self-rising flour
- 1 level tsp baking powder
For the Icing:
- 4 tbsp (2 oz/55g) butter, softened
- 1¼ cups (5 oz/150g) confectioners’ sugar, sifted
- 2 tsp coffee extract
How To Make Mary Berry Coffee Buns
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (Convection 350°F) and line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners.
- Prepare Batter: Dissolve the coffee granules in the eggs. Combine all the bun ingredients in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Bake: Divide the batter between the paper liners. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the buns are well risen and golden brown.
- Cool: Remove the buns from the tin and let them cool on a wire rack.
- Make Icing: Blend the butter with the confectioners’ sugar and coffee extract. Spread the icing over each bun until fully covered.
Recipe Tips
- Use Cold Margarine: For the best texture, keep your margarine cold before mixing. This helps the buns rise better and stay fluffy.
- Dissolve Coffee Well: Make sure the coffee granules are completely dissolved in the eggs to avoid any gritty texture in the buns.
- Don’t Overmix: Mix the batter just until smooth. Overmixing can make the buns dense instead of light and airy.
- Check Oven Temperature: Oven temperatures can vary. Use an oven thermometer to ensure it’s at the correct temperature for even baking.
- Cool Completely Before Icing: Allow the buns to cool completely on a wire rack before applying the icing to prevent it from melting or running.
