Preparation
Step 1
Makes: 6 small buns or
a medium cake
Pre
heat oven to 180
Add
the water to the ground flax and let sit while you get the dry ingredients
ready
Add
all of the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine
Add
all of the wet ingredients to a blender and blend until well incorporated and
the flax is nice and loose. This will ensure that it distributes through the
mix evenly.
Add
the wet to the dry and stir through until you get thick dough
With
damp hands shape the mix into 8 even balls then drop into the baking dish
Blend
the cashews until they become fine then add the water and sweetener stir
through ensuring there are no lumps
Spoon
the mix into a small clip lock bag then snip a small tip of one of the bottom
corners to create a nozzle
Carefully
pipe the mix over the buns to create the traditional Easter bun cross
Place
buns into the center of the oven and bake for up to 45-50 minutes or until a
skewer comes out clean, or they spring back when gently pressed.
While they are still hot carefully pour a small
amount of the syrup onto the buns then spread
