Ingredients
Method
1.Preheat oven to very hot, 220°C (200°C fan-forced). Lightly grease an oven tray.
2.Sift self-raising flour into a large bowl. Using fingertips, lightly rub in margarine, until well combined. Stir in sultanas and caster sugar. Make a well in the centre of flour mixture.
3.Whisk together milk and egg. Pour into well all at once, reserving 1 tablespoon. Using a palette knife, mix quickly to form a soft, sticky dough. Do not over-mix. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly. Break dough into 9 even pieces. Quickly roll into an oval (finger bun) shape. Place close together on a prepared tray. Brush with reserved liquid.
4.Bake 12-15 minutes, until finger buns sound hollow when tapped. In a jug, whisk together 1 tablespoon just-boiled water and extra caster sugar. Brush over hot buns. Cool on a wire rack.
5.Meanwhile, make icing: combine icing sugar in a bowl with 1 tablespoon just boiled water and a few drops of pink food colouring. Spread a strip down the centre of each cooled finger bun. Sprinkle with desiccated coconut, to serve.
These can be frozen separately if liked. Let thaw at room temperature – do not use a microwave as the icing will melt.
