Easy Gluten Free Iced Buns (Cheat’s Recipe)

Traditional off the shelf iced buns are usually made with wheat flour, so they are not normally gluten free. Marks & Spencer do sell a gluten free spiced iced bun though. This recipe uses gluten free brioche rolls instead of normal bread, making it possible to enjoy an iced bun while following a gluten free diet. Always check the packaging of your chosen ingredients to make sure they are suitable for your dietary requirements.

Yes. The cream is optional, so you can simply ice the gluten free brioche rolls and enjoy them without a filling. You could also fill them with jam, lemon curd or another gluten free filling instead.

The egg can be left out and water used instead, you don't get the same glass as with egg whites, royal icing (with egg white) has better stability, but icing made with just a touch of water will also work. You would also need to ensure the gluten free brioche used don't contain egg either.
