Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 10 grams Dry yeast
- 250 milliliters Whole milk
- 75 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 large Eggs
- 300 milliliters Heavy whipping cream
- 30 grams Powdered sugar
- 150 grams Raspberry jam
- 10 grams Optional powdered sugar for dusting
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and dry yeast.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, warm the milk gently over low heat until lukewarm (around 37-40°C). Do not overheat.
Step 3
Add the lukewarm milk, softened butter, and egg to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Place the dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 6
After the dough has risen, punch it down, and divide it into 12 equal portions.
Step 7
Shape each portion into a ball and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 1 inch of space between each bun.
Step 8
Cover the buns with a clean kitchen towel again, and let them rise for 30 minutes until puffed up.
Step 9
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Once the buns have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Step 10
Remove the buns from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 11
While the buns are cooling, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
Step 12
Once cooled, slice each bun horizontally, creating a top and bottom. Spread a layer of raspberry jam on the bottom half of each bun.
Step 13
Pipe or spoon a generous amount of whipped cream on top of the jam layer, then place the top of the bun back on.
Step 14
Optionally, dust the tops of the buns lightly with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
