Custard:

  • Mix all the ingredients very well. Heat it in a saucepan. Bring it to the boil and boil it for 1 minute whisking constantly. Let cool on a plate.
  • Let it cool down on a plate.
  • (This is made without vanilla. Therefor it has not got all the small black “dots”)
  • Split the dough in two parts. Roll each part out with a roll pin and cut it into 9 squares each (so you will get 18 in total). Place 1 tsp. of custard on each square.
  • Place 1 tsp. of custard on each square.
  • Fold the corners of the squares as shown on the picture below. Place them “upside down” (with the corners down) on a baking sheet with non-stick paper.
  • Fold the corners of the squares…
  • Brush the buns with milk (or egg).
  • Bake the buns in a pre-heated oven on 200 degrees C. (390 degrees Fahrenheit) for approx. 12-15 minutes.
