Ingredients

Bread

  • 100 g butter
  • 3,5 dl whole milk – 3,5% fat (I use lactose free)
  • 50 g yeast
  • 0,5 tsp baking powder
  • 0,5 tsp cardamom
  • 0,5 g salt
  • 75 g sugar
  • 600 g wheat flour

Filling / top

  • 3 dl vanilla cream
  • 2 dl coconut meat/mass
  • 200 g powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp egg whites
  • 2 tsp water

Method

  1. Melt butter and pour in the milk. Stir the yeast into the lukewarm liquid. Mix in sugar, 2/3 of the flour, baking powder, salt, and cardamom. Stir well until the dough is smooth. Dilute with the rest of the flour until you get a smooth dough. Let the dough rise to double size approx. 30 minutes.
  2. Roll the dough into a sausage and cut it into 16 pieces. Roll each piece into round buns. Let it rest for approx. 15 minutes.
  3. Set the oven to 225° C / 437° F.
  4. Make a hole in the middle of each bun and fill it with vanilla cream. Cook the school buns for 12 – 15 minutes in the oven. Afterward, cool them on a rack.
  5. Make the icing by mixing the icing sugar and egg whites. If you think it is getting too thick, sprinkle with a small amount of cold water. Put the icing on the buns and dip them in coconut meat.
