Ingredients

Steps:

Whisk together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add beaten egg and coffee essence. Whisk into egg and margarine mixture.
Add flour then sultanas and stir into mixture.
Roll mixture into balls about the size of a ping pong ball and flatten slightly. Place in patty tins.
When baked, lift buns out of patty tins and place on wire rack to cool.

Tips:

For a sweeter bun, increase the amount of sugar in the dough to 1/4 cup.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
To make sure the buns are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one. If it comes out clean, the buns are done.
Let the buns cool slightly before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
Store the buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
