  Fab!!! I didn't use a breadmix as I make my own bread used my white loaf recipe 500g flour mix and added sugar and egg. Dough is very wet. Good to make with children and once iced just like - no actually better - than the shop ones - a trip down memory lane! Only iced what we were to eat and put the un-iced ones in the freezer.

  The first time we had a bit of a mishap and forgot the water but even after leaving over night in the fridge they were delicious. Just like us parents remembered them (not that we were allowed to eat many!)

  These were yummy once cooked, but I found the dough very messy and sticky to handle. I didn't use a bread mix, just bread flour and yest. Next time I make them, I will use less sugar to make it a less sticky dough.

  Instead of a bread mix I used my standard 500g bread machine recipe and got it to do the hard work so all i had to do was shape them, let them rise, put them in the oven and then the fun of decorating. I made them for a cake sale and they flew off the table. Delightfully old fashioned and lighter on the fat and sugar than most treats!

  Followed recipe to the letter and failed, would be better if they had mentioned you need yeast with other bread flour

  A couple of expats looking for a taste from home. We used a 500g loaf recipe for our breadmaker. After making up the recipe we thought it was a bit too soggy and added about a scant half cup of flour extra. They were great and we still have over half in the freezer for a rainy/ snowy day! Who says 'bread won't rise at altitude'!

  I have made this recipe up again. This time I divided the mixture into 12 round rolls instead. After I used the doughnut filling nozzle from our cheap icing kit to fill the buns with homemade stewed apples. I then iced as above (but left out the sprinkles). They were another fantastic version of an old favorite!

  Just made this for the first time, I used the Wright's white bread mix. They are really good although tougher then the usual iced buns you buy from the shops. Thats probably because they have less rubbish in them! Really tasty and relatively easy to make. The dough is sticky and the icing sugar is too much but will be making them again.

  I made this with my 8 year old daughter and she loved it - very simple to bake with kids and she got very creative with the decorating

  Try slicing in half and putting jam and fresh cream inside. So so good but not for the waist line??

  This dough was so sticky I swore I wouldn't make it again........Until I ate one! Very tasty, much better than the bakery ones. I made the dough in the bread machine. I tried it again but scooped the dough into a medium silicone roasting tray rose it, baked it at 170 instead of 180 for approximately an extra 10 minutes. Cut into 12 squares and iced. Yummy and no sticky fingers!

  I used strong white flour and some sugar, butter and milk. Very sticky, but once kneaded with some extra flour, the dough was managable. I live in a house without central heating, so proving was a bit tricky, but once risen, and baked ... WOW really tasty buns. And I haven't even iced them yet! Kids can do that tomorrow :)
