Tips:

Use fresh ingredients for the best results. This means using real butter, eggs, and milk, not margarine, egg substitutes, or non-dairy milk.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender bun.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bun.
Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the gluten in the flour to relax, resulting in a more tender bun.
Bake the buns in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that they rise evenly.
Do not overbake the buns. Overbaking can result in dry, tough buns.
Let the buns cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Boston cream buns are a delicious and classic treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make these buns at home. Just be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your buns turn out perfectly.
