Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 180°C / 350°F / 160°C Fan / Gas Mark 4. Line an approximately 20 x 30cm sized tin with baking paper.
- Place the gluten free flour, yoghurt, 2 eggs, baking powder, xanthan gum and 150 grams of the brown sugar in a large bowl. Mix until it comes together. Knead for 1 minute with your hands until the mixture is smooth and slightly sticky. Shape into a ball, cover in cling film and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough into a rectangular shape approximately 30 x 40cm and 1.5 - 2cm thick. In a food processor blitz together the remaining brown sugar, Ground Cinnamon, dried fruit, orange zest, lemon zest and melted butter until a coarse paste has formed. Gently spread a thin layer of the mixture evenly over the dough with a palette knife.
- With the longest edge closest to you, roll the dough up into a cylinder. Trim both ends if a little uneven, and cut into 12 even slices. Arrange the slices in your prepared tin. Beat the reserved egg, and brush over the top of your buns.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden and risen. To make the icing, in a small bowl mix together the icing sugar and orange juice until smooth, drizzle over the warm (but not hot) buns.
- Cooking Tip If you want to make this with regular flour, substitute regular self-raising flour in place of the gluten free flour. Omit xantham gum. Finished dish will not be gluten-free.
