Fluffy Buns Delight (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dough

01 - 1 tsp vanilla essence
02 - 1 egg
03 - ½ cup melted butter, unsalted
04 - 4 cups plain flour
05 - ½ tsp table salt
06 - ¼ cup granulated sugar
07 - 2 ¼ tsp quick-rise yeast
08 - 1 cup milk, warmed

→ Blueberry Filling

09 - 1 tbsp starch powder
10 - ¼ cup white sugar
11 - 2 cups fresh berries (blueberries)

→ Streusel Topping

12 - 2 tbsp cold butter, diced
13 - 2 tbsp sugar
14 - ¼ cup plain flour

→ Optional Additions

15 - Dust with a sugar glaze for a sweet finish
16 - Sprinkle almond slices for extra crunch
17 - Add some lemon peel zest for freshness
18 - Mix a pinch of cinnamon into the crumb topping

# Instructions:

01 - Combine the warm milk with the sugar and yeast in a bowl. Give it 5 to 10 minutes until it foams up. Mix in the butter, salt, vanilla, and egg. Slowly stir in the flour until a dough forms. Knead it for around 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth. Cover with a towel and leave in a warm spot to rise until it doubles in size (about 1-1.5 hours).
02 - Combine the blueberries, sugar, and starch in a bowl, then set aside.
03 - Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a tray with parchment. Punch down the dough and split it into 10-12 pieces. Shape each piece into a small flat disc. Put some blueberry filling in the middle and pinch the edges to seal it. Place them seam-down on the tray.
04 - Mix the flour, sugar, and butter using your fingers to make crumbs. Brush a little milk or egg wash over the buns. Sprinkle the crumble on top. Bake for 18-22 minutes until they’re golden. Let them cool for a bit before eating.

# Notes:

01 - Use lukewarm milk—it should help the yeast rise properly.
02 - Pick a warm spot for the dough to rise for fluffy buns.
03 - Toss the berries with cornstarch to stop the moisture from seeping out.
04 - Don’t go overboard with filling to keep the buns from bursting.
