Cream jehi banas ( sweet rolls slathered with condesnsed milk)

I know once you read this recipe you will probably think this is an insane one. But this is something that has been around our country for some time. It is basically a bun, a slightly sweet, yellow-coloured butter bun that is slathered with a sweet spread made of sugar, sweet condensed milk and vanilla.
 The spread is usually coloured with food colouring a bright pink or green.  I used to eat this sometimes when I was in girls' school (that's grades 6-10), the school canteen usually sold Maldivian snacks during break time, so those who didn't go home during break time ( yes the older ones were allowed to head home during the 30-minute break, the streets were quite safe with less traffic then),  would head to the canteen to buy some snacks to eat.  It's also available in some of the little street shops that sell local snacks.
Anyway, I was craving something sweet and missed these little treats so decided to make some for the first time in my life.  I always bought them, never tried to make them myself.  The first time I tried them using icing sugar instead of regular sugar, but the taste wasn't the same. So this time I used ground white sugar.  To those who read my blog from abroad try it on sweet dinner rolls.

Recipe : Creamed buns

20 sweet  buns ( I used Alcyon Bakery buns, those regular mini yellow buns)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup condensed milk
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
a few drops of green or red food colour

1. Grind the sugar till fine.  Place in a mixing bowl. Add condensed milk, vanilla, and food colour. Mix well.

2. Cut each bun in half, spoon a generous mixture and put the top on.

Enjoy!!
