Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 g Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Xanthan gum
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 80 g Unsalted butter
- 120 ml Whole milk
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 100 g Pineapple jam
- 1 Egg yolk
- 60 g Powdered sugar
- 0.5 tsp Gluten-free baking soda
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 180g gluten-free all-purpose flour, 1 tsp xanthan gum, 1 tbsp baking powder, 0.5 tsp salt, and 50g granulated sugar and mix thoroughly.
Cut in 80g unsalted butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add 120ml whole milk, 1 egg, and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the bowl, mixing until a dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently until smooth, about 5 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more gluten-free flour.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape them into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Using your thumb, make an indentation in the center of each dough ball and fill it with about 1 to 2 teaspoons of pineapple jam.
For the topping, in a separate bowl, cream together 60g powdered sugar and 40g softened butter until light and fluffy.
Add 1 egg yolk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 0.5 tsp gluten-free baking soda to the topping mixture and blend well.
Divide the topping mixture into 8 equal parts, flatten each into a thin circle, and place it gently over each bun.
Cover the buns lightly with a tea towel and let them rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
