Method
  1. Pour milk into a small saucepan, add in flour and stir till flour is well dissolved.
  2. Cook over low heat and whisk continuously till a smooth paste is formed (I do not have a thermo to check whether the dough reaches 65C, but it roughly takes about 2mins)

  2. Add in softened butter and continue to knead until smooth and elastic, 10 mins. Cover and proof for 60mins.
  3. Lightly punch dough down and knead lightly to release gas. Shape into round and rest for another 15mins.
  4. Roll out dough into a 30cm x 25cm rectangular shape. Spread filling evenly over the dough and roll up like a swiss roll. Seal edge tightly. Cut into 6 portions and place on a paper lining. Proof for another 45-60mins until double in size.

  7. Anonymous..no need chill, after cooling down can use immediately. This portion total wgt is abt 100gm after cooking, cos some mixture stick to the cling wrap and the pot. Just nice for 1 recipe as I indicated, balance water roux u can keep in fridge for 3-5 days but I just discard it :P
