Prepare the ingredients by taking out 4 slices of white bread and cutting each slice into four smaller squares.
In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat and add 2 tablespoons of milk. Stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar until dissolved. Remove the pan from heat once the sugar is fully incorporated.
Spread 1 tablespoon of kaya evenly on 8 of the small bread squares.
Top each kaya-covered piece with another piece of bread to make a small sandwich.
Arrange the bread sandwiches in a heatproof plate or a shallow dish that fits into your steamer.
Pour the melted butter and milk mixture evenly over the bread sandwiches, ensuring that each piece is soaked.
Cover the plate with aluminum foil to prevent water from dripping onto the bread.
Place the plate in a prepared steamer. Steam over boiling water for about 10-15 minutes until the bread is soft and moist.
Carefully remove the plate from the steamer using tongs or oven mitts. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve the steamed kaya butter bread warm and enjoy as a delightful snack or breakfast.
