Mary Berry Coconut Buns Ingredients
- 225g/8oz Odlums Cream Plain Flour
- Pinch of Salt
- 1 teaspoon Odlums Baking Powder
- 75g/3oz Butter or Margarine
- 75g/3oz Shamrock Golden Caster Sugar
- 50g/2oz Shamrock Desiccated Coconut
- 1 Egg, beaten
- 150ml/¼pt Milk
To Decorate:
- Fruitfield Raspberry Jam
- Extra Shamrock Desiccated Coconut
How To Make Mary Berry Coconut Buns
- Preheat Oven: Preheat to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6. Lightly grease 2 flat baking trays.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: Sieve the flour, salt, and baking powder into a bowl.
- Rub in Fat: Rub in the butter or margarine until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Mix Ingredients: Add the sugar and coconut, then mix well.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Mix to a fairly stiff consistency with the egg and milk.
- Shape and Bake: Drop dessert spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared tins, spaced apart. Bake for 15-20 minutes until risen and golden brown.
- Cool and Decorate: Remove from the oven, and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Brush the top with jam and dip in extra coconut.
Recipe Tips
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter, egg, and milk are at room temperature. This helps the mixture come together smoothly.
- Mix Just Enough: Stir the mixture until it’s combined, but don’t overdo it. Overmixing can make the buns tough.
- Spoon the Dough Evenly: Use a dessert spoon to drop the dough onto the trays. This keeps the buns the same size and helps them bake evenly.
- Check the Baking Time: Watch the buns as they bake. They should be golden brown and puffed up, but baking times can vary.
- Let Cool Before Decorating: Cool the buns on a wire rack before adding jam and coconut. This helps the jam set and the coconut stick better.
