Sweet Boston Buns

Sweet Boston Buns are a delightful treat, filled with coconut and topped with a sweet pink icing.

Ingredients - Serves 12

Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the softened butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each into a round bun.
Place the buns on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the buns are baking, prepare the icing by mixing together the icing sugar, a few drops of pink food coloring, and enough water to achieve a spreadable consistency.
Once the buns have cooled slightly, spread the pink icing on top and sprinkle with the desiccated coconut.
