SOFT UBE MILK BUNS | detailed instructions | Maja's Kitchen Creations

These are soft buns flavored with ube. Ube is a tuber with a vibrant purple color. It has an earthy, nutty taste. It's a popular ingredient for desserts in the Philippines.

The recipe makes soft buns and stay moist and soft the next day or so. I suggest that you weigh your ingredients. Note that the equivalent cup/spoon measurements I provided are approximate conversions. If you don't have a food scale, using measuring cups or spoons will work. Just make sure that you don't pack the flour, instead, scoop it into the measuring cup and level it with a knife or spatula. You may also adjust by adding flour or milk one teaspoon at a time if dough is too wet or too dry.

***Dough will be very sticky. Use a spatula or bench scraper to help with the kneading. Don't be tempted to add more flour, just keep kneading.

***Humidity will affect the stickiness of the dough. If it's extremely sticky, add a small amount of flour. But don't overdo it as it will affect the texture. Dough should still be tacky and moist.
