Homemade Fried Cream Buns
These fried cream buns are soft and fluffy on the inside with a golden, crispy crust and a sweet butter‑cream center—perfect for a snack or simple dessert.
Instructions
-
Activate yeast
In a bowl combine the warm milk, sugar and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. -
Prepare the dough
Add the egg, oil and salt to the yeast mixture and mix well. Gradually stir in the flour until a smooth batter forms. Cover and let rise for 40 minutes. -
Heat oil for frying
Pour oil into a deep pan and heat over medium heat until hot but not smoking. -
Fry the buns
Spoon portions of the risen batter into the hot oil. Fry each side until golden brown, then remove and set aside to cool completely. -
Make butter‑cream filling
In a bowl beat together softened butter, powdered sugar and vanilla essence until light and creamy. -
Assemble the buns
When the fried buns are fully cooled, cut each one horizontally and spread a generous layer of the butter‑cream inside before serving.
Tips
For an extra puff, be sure the oil stays at medium temperature; too hot will brown the outside before the inside cooks through.

About this recipe
The buns are made from a simple yeasted dough enriched with warm milk, egg, and a touch of oil, giving them a light, bakery‑style texture. After a short rise, the dough is dropped into hot oil, fried until golden, and then cooled before filling. The butter‑cream filling combines softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla for a rich, sweet contrast to the crisp exterior.
Serve the buns warm, split open, and spread the butter‑cream inside. They make a delightful treat for tea time, kids' lunchboxes, or any moment you crave a homemade bakery snack.
