Ingredients
  

Buns

  • 3 cups almond flour
  • 3/4 cups ground psyllium husk
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cup xylitol
  • 3 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2.5 teaspoons nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 6 egg whites
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1.4 cups boiling water

Glaze

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water

Crosses

  • 3 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 3-4 tablespoons water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 170C / 338F and line a baking tray with baking paper
  • In a large mixing bowl, add all dry ingredients for the buns and mix together, breaking up any lumps in the almond flour. 
  • Add the wet ingredients (boiling water, egg whites and apple cider vinegar) and stir to thoroughly combine into a dough. If it is a little dry, add more water. 
  • With wet hands, shape into 12 small buns (or 8 larger ones) and place on the prepared baking tray, just touching. 
  • Whisk the egg and tablespoon of water for the glaze together and brush over the top. 
  • Score crosses in the top lightly with a knife. Mix together the cross ingredients to form a smooth paste and pipe on top. 
  • Bake for 55 - 60 minutes until a skewer comes out almost clean. I think these are best left a little moist, as it helps them get even crisper when toasting. 
  • Serve warm or toasted with lashings of butter.
