Make Bath Buns For Your Afternoon Tea - Vegan Recipe From Chef

Bath bun as the name suggests originates from the city of Bath. It is a great idea on the afternoon tea and it's very easy to veganise!

This vegan recipe created by pastry chef Michael Topp is as great as the original - fluffy and delicious.

Michael’s love for pastry began when he was very young while baking with his gran during the summer. He fell in love with it and knew at a young age that it was what he wanted to pursue as a career.

He loves working with fresh seasonal fruits, particularly local Somerset strawberries during the summer months. He also enjoys blending floral tones into the cakes, such as violet and lavender - served alongside a pot of freshly brewed loose leaf tea. 

His dairy-free Bath Bun, a spiced and sweetened soft roll filled with a sugar cube and topped with nibbed sugar is a perfect treat for a plant-based afternoon tea. Here is the recipe and instructions:
