½ cup warm whole milk
½ teaspoon salt (dissolved in the milk)
1 beaten egg yolk

Preparation method:

Bun Dough

Sift the dry yeast with the flour and sugar.
Rub the butter into the dry mixture until it becomes a fine crumb type mixture.
Add the warm water, warm milk and salt into the dry mixture.
Combine until a soft dough.
Place the dough onto a lightly floured board and knead the dough for 8 minutes.
Put the dough into light oiled bowl, cover and let it stand in a draft free warm area for 2 hours or until doubled. Punch the dough down.
Place again onto a board and knead by hand for 4 minutes.
Divide the dough into 12 portions.
Knead each portion into a nice round bun, and place onto a greased cookie sheet.
Leave enough room in between for the buns to rise e. Set the buns aside covered in a warm place for about 15 to 20 minutes. Bake in a hot oven for about 25 minutes.
When it is cold, slit each bun and place in DXN Black Coffee mock cream.


DXN Black Coffee Cream

Make a sugar syrup with the water and sugar in a sauce pot and add in 4 packets of DXN Black Coffee until dissolve (about 3 minutes) and remove from heat to cool completely.
Beat the butter with vanilla essence for some time until it is white in colour and fluffy.
Gradually pour in the cold syrup while the mixer is still beating.
