Description

A sweet breakfast bun to replace Little Debbie in my kids’ affections.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE BUNS:
  • 1-⅓ cup Water
  • ⅓ cups Sugar
  • 4 teaspoons Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoons Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 4 cups Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Yeast
  • _____
  • FOR THE FROSTING:
  • 2 cups Confectioners Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 4 Tablespoons Milk (more Or Less To Reach Desired Spreading Consistency)

Preparation

Place all ingredients together into the pan of your bread maker. Set on the dough cycle. You can substitute part or all honey for the 1/3 cup sugar.

When dough cycle is finished, divide dough into 30 to 32 pieces, cover so they don’t dry out. Roll one at a time into snakes and coil them, moistening the “tail” and pressing it down on the edge to make a coiled bun. Keep the others covered until all are coiled or they will make a crust and won’t rise well.

Place on foil lined and greased baking sheets (I get 15 to a sheet) . Place into a warm draft free place, like an oven with just the light on to rise. I find a small pan of hot water helps the rising. Allow to rise until they have doubled in size.

Remove pans and then preheat oven to 400F. Bake for 15 minutes (plus or minus) or until lightly browned.

Ice with frosting.

To make the frosting: Mix together all ingredients and drizzle on Honey Buns after cooling. Icing should firm up like donut icing.

to save time, instead, roll the dough and cut it to size like they would in factories such as Pillsbury. i havent made it yet but just reading it made it sound tedious and overly time consuming.

These turned out terrific, even though I think I might have over baked them a bit; so for my oven I might try 350 degrees F. Some of mine turned out looking like pine trees, rising from the middle to a peak…I’ll have to work on a technique to get them flatter. The frosting is exactly enough to ice these buns.
