I was wondering if you had ever tried filling your melon pan, and if you had if you could share any tips on fillings or methods?

Thanks for the teaspoon conversions, my kitchen scale can't display fractions of grams, so it was nice to have an alternative. These were really very good! The actual bun was a bit denser than I would have liked, but I'm picky about that sort of thing. I ended up using brown sugar in the cookie topping because I like the little bit of savory flavor it adds to the entire bun (even if it makes gauging the color harder), and the batch barely had time to cool before it was all gone.

It's so similar to this Japanese one, but the topping is much more simple made only with butter and confectioner's sugar; then it is scored with a "cutter" that has the shape of a sea shell and that's where it gets its name from. I use to make them at my first job but I dont know if I still have a recipe. Maybe I will try this one and see how are they a like or different.
