Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative that binds ingredients.

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

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.

Add softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.

Pour in the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.

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

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C).

Punch down the risen dough and divide into equal portions.

Shape each portion into rolls or desired shapes.

Prepare the topping by mixing confectioner's sugar, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and softened butter to form a paste.

Decorate the shaped dough with the topping mixture before baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.

Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
