custard buns
Filled sweet rolls
Custard buns are soft, sweet bread rolls filled with a creamy custard center, popular in Asian bakeries.
The filling ranges from vanilla-flavored Western-style custard to the richer, egg-yolk-based custard common in Chinese and Japanese versions.
Some are baked, others steamed: I grabbed a custard bun from the dim sum cart.
