Custard-Filled Buns

Custard-Filled Buns are a delectable treat that will satisfy your sweet tooth. These buns are soft, fluffy, and filled with a creamy custard that will leave you wanting more. To make these delicious buns, you will need the following ingredients:

For the dough:

- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water

For the custard filling:

- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
To make the dough, combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the warm milk, melted butter, egg, and yeast. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1 hour.
To make the custard filling, heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it starts to steam. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg yolks, and cornstarch until smooth. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the custard cool to room temperature.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten it into a disc. Place a spoonful of custard in the center of each disc and fold the edges up to seal the custard inside. Place the buns on a greased baking sheet and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Brush the buns with an egg wash and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Let the buns cool for a few minutes before serving.
