Add the warm milk with yeast and half of the water.

Mix with your mixers dough hook, or with a wooden spoon until a dough starts to form.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until well risen and golden brown.

Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool fully.

Make the Icing by placing the icing sugar and glucose into a small bowl.

Dribble a little of the water at a time and mix to a thick spreadable paste. You may not need all of the water.

When the buns are cool spread the tops with the icing and allow to set.
