- 1/3 cup Sugar
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 2 1/2 to 3 cups Flour
- For the Cheese Filling:
- 10.5 ounces Semi-fat Curd Cheese
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar
- A few drops of Vanilla Essence
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla Pudding Powder
- Additional:
- Frozen Raspberries, dusted with Potato Starch
- Prepare the Dough:
- Melt the butter and allow it to cool.
- In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk with a tablespoon each of sugar and flour. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

- Prepare the Cheese Filling:
- Mix the curd cheese with egg yolk, powdered sugar, vanilla essence, and pudding powder until well combined.
- Assemble the Buns:

- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon the cheese mixture and raspberries into the center of each bun.
- Brush the edges with milk and bake in a preheated oven at 356 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) for about 25 minutes or until golden.
- For the Icing:
