Notes

  • If the dough feels sticky, oil your hands instead of adding lots of flour.
  • Seal the buns well so the filling doesn’t leak during baking.
  • Vanilla sugar can be replaced with 1 tsp vanilla extract (mix into the wet ingredients).
  • For best texture, rewarm leftovers before serving.
