  • 240ml almond milk
  • 1 x 7g sachet fast-action dried yeast
  • 360g plain flour

Before you start

Preheat oven to 180°C l Saucepan l Greased tin

Step 1

Make the dough

  • Heat the milk, butter and caster sugar on a low heat until the butter has melted and the sugar dissolved
  • Set aside to cool for 10 minutes
  • Meanwhile measure out the flour into a bowl, add the yeast and salt and mix to combine
  • Check that the milk mixture has cooled to body temperature and then add to the dry ingredients, mixing quickly with a wooden spoon into a dough
  • If it looks too wet add in a few more tablespoons of flour until it comes together into a loose dough - it will be very soft in texture‚ not like a bread dough
  • Turn out on to a floured surface and give a few gentle kneads to bring together
  • Place the dough in a bowl, cover with cling film and put in a warm place to rise until it has doubled in size

Ingredients

  • ½ tsp salt
  • 5 tbsp plant-based butter
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • 240ml almond milk
  • 1 x 7g sachet fast-action dried yeast
  • 360g plain flour

Step 2

Form the buns

  • When the dough has risen dust your work surface with flour and tip out the dough
  • Knead it gently together, knocking the air out of it - it will be very soft and a little sticky, add a little more flour as you need to
  • Roll out the dough into a rough rectangle around 35cm x 50cm
  • Spread the butter onto the dough and sprinkle over the cardamom, cinnamon and brown sugar evenly on top
  • Cover and leave to rise for 25-35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp plant-based butter
  • 5 tbsp brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom

Step 3

Bake the buns

  • Once the buns are risen place the tin in the oven for 25-30 minutes
  • They should be lightly golden on top and feel slightly soft in texture underneath when prodded
  • While the buns cool, make the glaze by mixing the icing sugar with 1-2 tbsp of water
  • Once they are completely cool, cover with the glaze and scatter over the pistachios

Ingredients

  • 60g icing sugar
  • handful of pistachios chopped
  • 2 water
