Coconut Orange Tea Buns with Honey Butter. A delicious combination of 
two favourite tea bun recipes that my mother always made in her 
Newfoundland kitchen.

prep: 15 MINUTES
cook: 20 MINUTES
total: 35 MINUTES

Start these in my food processor because it is so fast but they can 
be made just as easily in a large bowl by cutting the butter in with 
a pastry blender or just rubbing it into the dry ingredients using your hands.

In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Cut/pulse in the butter until mixture resembles a fine meal.

Remove to a large bowl and stir in the coconut.

Make a well in the center of this mixture.

Mix together the lemon juice, vanilla extract, evaporated milk and orange zest.

Pour into the well and mix only enough to form a dough ball.

Roll to 1" thickness and cut out buns with biscuit cutter and place 
on parchment lined baking sheet close together.

Bake at 375F for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Baking time 
will vary depending on the size of your biscuit cutter. This recipe 
makes 16 large tea buns.

TO PREPARE THE HONEY BUTTER: Honey butter is simply honey beaten into 
plain butter in a 2 to 1 ratio of butter to honey.

Use a handheld electric mixer to cream the two ingredients together.

Notes: Nutritional information is one bun without butter.

Question: Can these be frozen?
Response: Yes

Review: Love this recipe, Barry! Sometimes I change it up and use 
chopped maraschino cherries and exclude the orange zest - with a 
little tweaking of the liquid ingredients, they are always a hit! 
Kind of like mini Christmas cherry cakes!
