Mix in all the ingredients for the filling. Spread half of the filling mixture over the rectangle and roll up along the long edge.
Cut into 3-4 cm slices and place into the prepared bun tins. Do the same with the remaining half. Leave to rise for 20-30 minutes.
Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with nib sugar.
Bake in the centre of the oven at 200 °C for 10-15 minutes.
To serve
The buns are best eaten straight from the oven, but you can also freeze them once cool. Defrost and warm them up in the oven before serving.
