Custard recipe for bread/ bun/ mooncake

The brioche that I made is finished :( this time I want to make the bun with filling inside. 

I found a recipe of custard, note that it is different from pastry cream. It is because we use corn flour only in pastry cream, we don't use all-purpose flour. Also, we don't have custard powder inside this custard.





In general, we use this kind of custard for Chinese bun filling, mooncake filling...

The picture at right - the custard served as filling for bun of Hong Kong style










Thanks to Winnie for the recipe :) It works well for the 1st time!

Ingredients:
2 eggs 
4 tsp sugar
2 tbsp custard powder*
120ml whole milk
50g flour 
40g butter

*Substitue of custard powder, click here.
Note: I used 2 tbsp corn flour & 1 tsp vanilla extract to replace custard powder

Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, mix egg and sugar until the color is lighter with foam on the top

2. Add in custard powder, mix well, then add in milk, mix well

3. Add in flour, use a spetula to press the lumps on the side & mix well

4. Add in butter

5. Put the mixture on a bigger saucepan, cook the mixture with medium high heat, stir the mixture for 2-3 times within about 10-15mins, or more time, remove from heat when the mixture is thick enough - which means when the mixture doesn't stick much on the spetula

6. Let the mixture cool down. Set aside - ready to use!

Note: in the recipe, it is written to sieve the flour/ custard powder, I didn't do that, I found that the result is good. So it's up to you

Enjoy!
