A few days ago I settled in the UK and noticed that hot tap water was not specific to Heathrow Airport. The only option in some toilets (e.g. in restaurants) is "tooooo hot" water. I cannot touch so hot water for even one second, otherwise it is painful.
How can I wash my hands if hot water is the only option?

It would be very unusual for there not to be a "cold" tap also in a basin. Mix the hot and cold until you get the right temperature. Or use cold only and carry hand sanitizer.

I think OP is asking just about that unusual case, where there is no cold tap

@HankyPanky They were mostly push button taps with red sign on top.

If it is not possible to mix with cold water, I would suggest getting some toilet paper wet and use that (afrer cooling down) like wet nappies.

If the water temperature hurts you, and there aren't other options, you simply don't wash your hands with that tap. I don't see many solutions...
Use an hand sanitizer or some kind of cleaning tissue..
