  3. Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix to a soft dough.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp tea towel and prove in a warm, draught-free place for 45 minutes or until the dough doubles in size.

Knead each portion into a ball and place close together in the pan. Cover with a damp tea towel and set aside for 20 minutes to prove or until buns rise up and touch each other.
  7. To make the paste, place the reserved flour and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Beat until smooth, add a little more water if the paste is too thick. Spoon into a small plastic bag.
  8. Brush the tops of the buns with a little egg.
