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

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, warm the milk until it's lukewarm—approximately 37°C (98.6°F).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Step 3

Sprinkle the yeast over the milk mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it starts to froth.

Step 4

Add the flour, salt, and light butter to the yeast mixture, and mix well to form a dough.

Step 5

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal portions.

Step 8

Shape each portion into a round bun and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 9

Cover the buns with a towel and let them rise again for 30 minutes.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 11

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 12

While the buns are cooling, whip the low-fat whipping cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Step 13

Once the buns are cool, slice them in half horizontally without cutting all the way through.

Step 14

Fill each bun with a generous tablespoon of whipped cream.

Step 15

Sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar before serving.
