About Custard bun

Custard Bun, a delightful treat from Chinese cuisine, features a soft, pillowy steamed bun filled with a creamy, sweet custard center. The bun is crafted from a mixture of flour, yeast, sugar, and water, while the filling is typically made with milk, sugar, eggs, and butter, often enhanced with vanilla or coconut for extra flavor. This dessert is beloved for its smooth texture and balanced sweetness. Nutritionally, Custard Buns provide a source of carbohydrates and trace amounts of protein from the egg and milk in the filling. However, they can be high in sugar and saturated fats, primarily due to the butter and sugar content, making them best enjoyed in moderation. Popular during dim sum meals, they offer a satisfying mix of indulgence and cultural tradition, perfect for those looking to explore authentic Chinese sweets.
