      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Recipe's preparation

    Custard Filling
  1. Add all ingredients to bowl - 7 mins, 90 degrees, speed 4.  Scrape hot custard from bowl and allow to chill in a shallow container in refrigerator or freezer while dough is being prepared.

  2. Dough Preparation and Shaping
  3. Warm milk and butter in bowl - 2-3 mins, 37 degrees, speed 2.  Add remaining ingredients andDough modeknead 6 mins. Wrap dough in Thermomat and allow to rest for 10-15 mins. 

     

    Once rested, give a light knead by hand and shape into a ball.  Divide in half with spatula, then half again, and half again, etc, until you have 16 even portions.  Cup your hand over each portion and shape into a ball by rolling in small circles against the mat.

     

    Flatten each dough ball out to a 12-15cm circle, and place a heaped teaspoon of the thick chilled custard in the middle.  Bring edges of dough up over custard in sections until it all overlaps and pinch together to make sure the custard is sealed in. 

     

    Turn over so pinched seam is at the bottom and place on tray covered with baking paper, allowing plenty of room for each to expand to double their size.

     

  4.  

    Prove for approx. 25 minutes in a warm place away from draughts.  See proving tip below.

     

    *While buns are proving, prepare Bee Sting Topping in clean Thermomix bowl.

     

    Once approximately double in size, turn oven on to 200 degrees to preheat.

     

  5.  

    Place a heaped spoon of Bee Sting Topping on top of each bun very gently so as to not deflate them.  Bake 200 degrees, 20-25 mins until golden, depending on your oven.  Enjoy while still warm, but be careful of hot toffee. 

  6. Bee Sting Topping
  7. Weigh butter, sugar and honey into clean bowl - 10 secs, speed 3.  Scrape down, repeat.

    Add flaked almonds -Counter-clockwise operation 10 secs, speed 1.  Refrigerate until required.

Tip

How to get best proving results -

Start with a cold oven, with a steam bath in the base (baking dish with boiling water).  This will allow enough warmth to prove the dough without killing the yeast and enough steam to keep it moist.  Don't turn oven on until buns have finished proving, but before placing topping on, as your oven will heat up in this time, due to the warmth already created from the steam bath.  Remove steam bath after proving.

Enjoy warm or cold, but store in the refrigerator, due to the custard filling.

    These buns are great! I made them for visitors and they were a hit. I made the custard and the topping the night before so it was quick to make the next morning.

    Submitted by Cathrynmorison on 20. August 2021 - 17:21.

    They were very tasty, although the dough was a bit sloppy. I had to toss it in flour before I could knead and divide it. I made a half serving of the topping, which was just about right. I added a generous amount of the custard to each tart and my son volunteered to eat the little bit of custard left over.

    I think my oven might be a bit hot as they did get a bit dark, but they stayed intact and they were delicious warm. Looking forward to trying one cold if they haven't all been stolen!!!

  • This was a massive fail for

    Submitted by stinimende on 14. September 2016 - 12:22.

    This was a massive fail for me. My custard was runny, so it soaked into the dough as it cooked. A lot of them burst open during cooking, and I used all the topping so they were swimming in it by the time they were finished in the oven. 

    Might need to adjust some things, or state that the recipe makes more than needed?

     

    Taste is there though.

    Hi Salvardo, just saw that when I responded to your original question, it's gone up as another comment instead of a reply.   I hope you still saw it, and that you just follow it exactly the same in either TM31 or TM5.  I hope you've had a chance to try it with great success, otherwise, best of luck when you do get a chance! tmrc_emoticons.)

    Submitted by ajones111 on 23. February 2015 - 14:29.

    These turned out really well.  Was really happy with the texture of the custard, and the topping mixture is delicous.  The buns didn't raise up like they do when I make bread rolls - might try using Bakers Flour next time instead of plain flour.  But overall, a winner in our house.  Thanks for the recipe.

  • That's a shame, the custard

    Submitted by The Naked Baker on 16. February 2015 - 11:07.

    That's a shame, the custard should turn out really thick, but it's important to get the custard done first so it has a chance to chill down and set really thick.  I usually put mine in a slice container in the freezer, that way it's shallow and chills down much quicker.  Did you put the extra cornflour in?  As far as them flattening out while baking, it may be due to the runny custard, or even over-proving.  Did they actually rise much? how fresh is your yeast, maybe it has become in-active?  Let me know, as they should turn out perfect if recipe followed to a T, so something must be amiss somewhere.  tmrc_emoticons.~ TNB

    just made these beestings, and they flattened out a lot when cooking, and l found it was hard to keep them together without some custard seeping out of the top. is the custard meant to be thicker mine didn't get that thick? l really like these and would like to know where l went wrong. tmrc_emoticons.(

    Submitted by The Naked Baker on 10. February 2015 - 22:04.

    Hi Salvardo,  just do exactly the same in the TM31, it only varies when cooking in the bowl or varoma due to the difference in capacity, so tm31 results should be exactly the same for this, even the custard, and the quantity is well under maximum too. Good luck and let me know hire you go! Cheers, TNB x
