Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk for the custard
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for the custard
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, mashed
  • 2 tbsp sugar for the raspberry topping

Instructions

  1. Mix together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well, then pour in the warm milk, softened butter, and egg. Knead until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes, until doubled in size.
  2. Warm 1 cup of milk in a saucepan. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch. Gradually add warm milk and cook over low heat, stirring until thick. Fold in vanilla and let cool.
  3. Punch down risen dough and divide into balls. Flatten each and spoon custard into the center. Seal edges and let</strong rise for another 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix raspberries with sugar for topping. Press raspberry mixture onto buns and Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

Use warm, but not hot, milk to activate the yeast properly. Fresh raspberries yield the best flavor. Let buns cool slightly before serving.
