Mix warm milk with sugar and yeast in a bowl; let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

Combine flour, cardamom, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs to the flour mixture; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal pieces.

Shape each piece into a ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Cover the buns and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake the buns for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

While the buns cool, prepare the custard according to package instructions or your recipe.

Fill each bun with custard and top with powdered sugar and coconut flakes.
