Iced bun recipe anyone please ?

Gingernutmeg

In my mum's bakery, we just make a really thick icing with icing sugar and water - you need it *really* thick, as in so thick it's a real effort to mix it, we normally mix up huge quantities in the mixer Then you carefully spread it on, if you've got a thick layer only to top bit hardens, and you get the goopy bit underneath.

I love D&DD's braid dough too and add 3 tsp mixed spice and a big handful of sultanas and it comes out just like Morrisons lovely spicy iced fingers.

With one amount of dough I make 6 large iced fingers and a 'swiss crown' (where you put balls of dough in circle and one in middle, ice and pop a cherry in the middle, as par Morrisons). Delish and really soft.

I've not made it manually but I can't see why not.

this is the link to the original dough (was used for an apple braid) and on that thread you might find out if others did it manually. Its a very informative thread. You'll enjoy it.

i think i'll go through it later and if there is nothing on it for making it by hand.. then its just another excuse for me to go out and buy a bm..when we have more pennies !!!!

Oh no, I did as above for Ice Buns and they are not very nice at all, they did not rise and are very heavy. I use dried yeast from a tin so didn't know how much a sachet was so I used 6g? Was that too much or too little does anyone know, also didn't know temp or how long so put oven on 225 and left them in there 20 mins? Help anyone please, really thought I'd be able to make something from the bread maker that the kids would eat! Thank you. AG

I am dizzy from scrolling down page after page and I still can't find it.

Quite a while ago, a lovely OS er posted pictures and recipe for some kind of iced buns which she then filled with jam with the help of a piping nozzle. I am not sure if they were called iced buns or something else.

Does anyone have the link please, I have searched the recipe index but can only find a recipe for plain iced buns but that is not what I am looking for. Are they called something different? Thanks for your help :j I would like to make these for the kids for Easter tomorrow.
