Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 150 milliliters Low-fat milk
- 30 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 30 grams Light butter
- 200 milliliters Low-fat whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 10 grams Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a small saucepan, warm the milk until it's lukewarm—approximately 37°C (98.6°F).
In a large bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Sprinkle the yeast over the milk mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it starts to froth.
Add the flour, salt, and light butter to the yeast mixture, and mix well to form a dough.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal portions.
Shape each portion into a round bun and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Cover the buns with a towel and let them rise again for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
While the buns are cooling, whip the low-fat whipping cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Once the buns are cool, slice them in half horizontally without cutting all the way through.
Fill each bun with a generous tablespoon of whipped cream.
Sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar before serving.
