Custard Buns/ Sweet Buns

When I was baking Pizza was left with some yeast mixture. Then I thought to experiment with it.

Immediately I remembered Deepa's (Hamaree Rasoi) Dry fenugreek buns and bumped into her blog to find the basic recipe for buns. Her recipe was the best. I took the basic ingredients form it and prepared these buns they turned out superb. Here comes the recipe for custard Buns/ Sweet Buns.

Ingredients:

All purpose flour/Maida- 3cups

Custard Powder-3ts

Sugar-3ts

Salt-1/4ts

Butter-1/4cup

Dry active Yeast- 1ts

Olive oil-1ts

Milk -3/4cup

Sesame seeds-few

Directions:

• Take all purpose flour in a mixing bowl and add sugar + Custard Powder + Salt and mix well.
• Now heat the milk to luke-warm( when you dip, it should not hurt your finger), add dry active yeast and wait for 20min.
• Pour this yeast mixture and butter onto the flour and mix them till they blend very well. Now knead to form a soft dough.

• Transfer this dough to a greased bowl and spread some oil on the top of the dough.

• Rest this dough for about 1hr by covering with damp cloth.
• Now you will see the dough doubles in size. Punch the dough and knead it.
• Rest this dough for an another 10min.
• Mean while pre-heat the oven to 350F or 180C.
• Now knead the dough again, and divide the dough into 8 equal parts.
• Transfer them on to a greased baking tray, press some sesame seeds on top of each dough-let and brush with some olive oil.
• Bake them for about 10-15min or until they turn golden brown. 
• After removing the buns from the oven, brush them with butter/ olive oil for extra shine.
• Serve them with tea.
• Here deepa also suggested one wonderful tip to keep the buns soft & just like you find in restaurants  cover them with damp cloth.

I would like to thank Deepa for the basic recipe. Hope you all like my recipe. Keep visiting my blog for more recipes :)
