Ingredients

Method

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
  2. Add the cold cubed butter and mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together warm milk, egg, and a little water to activate the yeast.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and knead until a smooth dough forms.
  5. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
  6. Divide the dough into small portions, roll each into a ball, and flatten into a disk.
  7. Add a spoonful of custard filling to each disk, fold the dough over, and shape into a bun.
  8. Place on a baking sheet, let them rise again for 30 minutes, and brush with the egg yolk glaze.
  9. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
