Step 1

Stir 1 tbs of the sugar into the warm milk, then sprinkle over the yeast. Rest for 30 secs, stir, allow to proof for 10 mins until bubbling/activated.

Step 3

Place dough onto a floured bench and knead for 5-10 mins until smooth and no longer sticky.

Step 4

Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover and set aside in a warm place to proof for 1 hour or until it is double in size.

Step 5

Roll dough into 9-12 balls and place on a lined baking tray/skillet close together. Allow to rise for 30 mins until they double in size.

Step 6

Preheat oven to 200°C . Mix cross ingredients together and pipe over the buns. Bake for 15 mins.

Step 7

While they are baking, heat the maple syrup in a saucepan or microwave until it reduces. Brush the glaze over the cooked buns & enjoy.
