1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   Tip: Let it cool slightly.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

5. 5

   Add the flour mixture to the milk mixture and whisk until smooth.

   Tip: Don't overmix.

6. 6

   Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.

   Tip: Twist the top of the bag to create a seal.

7. 7

   Pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in 8 equal pieces.

   Tip: Tap the baking sheet gently to remove any air bubbles.

8. 8

   Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown.

   Tip: Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

9. 9

   Allow the buns to cool completely before filling with caramel sauce.

   Tip: You can also toast the buns for a crispy texture.
