Coffee Buns Recipes

COFFEE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3. Line 18 holes in 2 bun tins with fairy cake cases. Beat the sugar with the butter until light and creamy. Beat in the eggs, one by one, adding 1 tbsp flour at the same time. Beat in the rest of the flour along with the espresso. Spoon into the cake cases and bake for 17 mins, swapping the trays after 12 mins. Cool on a wire rack.
• To make the icing, beat the butter until pale, then gradually beat in the icing sugar, followed by the espresso and the melted chocolate. When the cakes are completely cool, swirl the icing generously on top and decorate with coffee beans, if you like.

EASY MORNING COFFEE ROLLS

Steps:

• Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with vegetable cooking spray. Set aside. In a small bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm milk. Let stand until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
• Stir yeast mixture, oil, and egg into flour mixture until a dough forms.
• To prepare filling, in a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon. Mix well.
• On a lightly floured surface, knead dough for 5 minutes. Divide dough in half. Roll each half to a 12x9-inch rectangle.
• Sprinkle each rectangle with half of the filling, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Lightly press filling into dough. Starting with a short side, roll up dough, jelly-roll style. Cut each piece into 6 rolls. Place rolls in prepared pan. Cover; let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 425°F Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Place on a wire rack and cool slightly. Serve warm.
