Sarawakian Butter Milk Bun

By Rumblingtummy @RumblingTummi
My one trip to Kuching was years ago and it was a vague memory as I just had slipped disc surgery and I needed walking stick to walk around.  It was a trip planned with my parents and family before my surgery so I still want to go before I fully recovered.
Come to think about it, it was a right decision as we no longer go on trips with my parents due to their old age.  Thus each memory counts.
So when BA shared this Sarawakian Butter Milk Bun, I was curious to try it because I did not get a chance to eat them.

Findings:  I was afraid that it will be too sweet as I am sharing these with my parents so I reduced the filling proportion.  So if you have a sweet tooth, double the filling proportion.
I don't know whether is it because I am using raw sugar, the filling still has this grainy texture.  So next time, I will pulverised the raw sugar first.
Now that we are used to cooked dough method in making buns so, we prefers a softer texture than this one.
Overall, it is nice when fresh out of the oven.
I would recommend toast it a little before eating.
Thanks BA for sharing.
