  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk, warmed
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs

  6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into small portions.
  8. Flatten each portion, spoon in a little custard and chocolate chips, and shape into a bun.
  9. Place the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Notes

Proof the dough in a warm, draft-free spot for even rise. Keep bun seams tight to avoid custard leakage.
