allanaAfter making the Char Siew Buns, I decided to make some dessert buns. With a thick custard filling. It seemed like a good idea at the time....
Today I have learnt two things:
1. Even the thickest custard will flow like magma as soon as you put it on a piece of dough, no matter how delicately you put it down.
2. I have no idea what 3" is. I surely must be every man's dream. My pieces of baking parchment under the shoddily pleated buns look tiny. I couldn't find a ruler, let alone a tape measure and I know we have at least two builder's measures and one fabric measure in the house. Somewhere.
Oh well. They may yet work out, but I'm not optimistic. At least I managed to avoid my worst case scenario of custard on the ceiling. (It got as far as my nose, instead.)
