Salted Egg Yolk Custard bun (Liu Sha Bao 流沙包)

  Salted egg yolk custard bun or Liushabao ( 流沙包 )is always my kids favorite Cantonese dim sums. These salted egg yolk custard buns were introduced to them at a dim sum restaurant, as part of our monthly ritual when they were young. My son took a bite out of it before it cooled down, almost burning his lip. This Liu Sha Bao is airy and light, with a delectable quicksand filling in the middle made of sugar, butter, and salted egg yolk. The filling is frozen during the filling process to make it easier to wrap within the bun.   After being steamed, it turns liquid. You'll know what I mean when you crack open the bao and see the luscious, silky yolk pouring out!

The cake has a very delicate texture that complements the fully proofed bread beautifully. I just use regular dinner roll dough for my bread. My cake batter is a straightforward chiffon cake recipe. Even though cake and bread are organized extremely differently, it sparks unexpectedly. But to be completely honest, making this cake bread takes time. Prior to baking a cake, you must first prepare a bread dough, let it rise, and then prepare the cake batter. Timing needs to be perfected to prevent problems like over-fermentation of bread or defoaming of cake batter. However, I made my bread dough a day in advance and chilled it at a low temperature in the fridge (to prevent over-fermentation) before doing the ass
