Step 1
Prepare dough per package directions using warm milk. Knead until smooth, then cover and let rest 5 minutes.
Step 2
Whisk custard powder with granulated sugar. Stir in 2 tbsp warm milk until smooth, then add remaining warm milk.
Step 3
Divide dough into 6 equal pieces. Flatten each into a 4-inch round on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
Step 4
Spoon 2 tbsp custard filling into center of each round. Fold edges up and pinch to seal, creating a pouch.

Brush tops with beaten egg. Bake at 400°F for 12–14 minutes until golden brown on top.
Step 6
Cool 2 minutes, then brush with melted butter and dust generously with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
