Lovely heart-shaped custard buns

Overview

Custard buns, also called custard buns, are a very traditional Cantonese dessert. It's hot, white and plump. When you break it with your hands, the soft and quicksandy custard filling will flow out. It's really loved by everyone. My family all loves stuffed bread, so I put the prepared custard filling in it, put it in the oven and baked it, and the big round bread came out. After cooling, I broke it open and the rich milky aroma immediately hit my face. Although it didn't have the quicksand feeling of Chinese custard buns, the rustling milky aroma when eaten cold is equally addictive. When making bread, I deliberately add a small heart-shaped coat to the bread, which represents the deep love for my family. Such heart-shaped custard buns are both beautiful and delicious. Friends, you might as well give it a try.
