These coconut swirl buns are perfect for all the coconut lovers out there because it’s basically a coconut version of the infamous cinnamon bun. These coconut swirl buns are made with a milk based dough so that it remains fluffy for days on end and is packed full of a delicious coconut-y filling that will leave you crazy for coconut.
If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you’d know that I’m currently out of town and spending some time in Hong Kong with family. So I thought that it would only be fitting that I share this recipe for Hong Kong style coconut buns with you all.
Traditionally these buns are shaped in a long roll similar to a hot dog bun but I don’t like these buns as much when they are prepared that way.
Why? Because the filling and dough ratio is usually uneven because there tends to be too much filling on the inside but not enough dough around it.
So what did I do? I decided to put my on twist on it by rolling the filling up in the dough so that it resembled a swirl bun!
I hope you like this version of these buns as much as I did and although I’m a good many thousands of miles away from my kitchen at home, I’m going to try my best not to neglect my blog because I love talking to you guys!
