Prepare the steamer by filling it with water and bringing it to a simmer.

In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add milk and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle.

Spread guava paste evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.

Roll the dough tightly into a log, sealing the edges to prevent filling from leaking.

Cut the log into equal pieces and place them in the steamer basket.

Cover the steamer and steam the rolls for about 30-40 minutes, until cooked through.

Remove the rolls from the steamer and let them cool slightly.

Prepare a glaze by mixing powdered sugar and lime juice until smooth.

Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls and sprinkle with coconut flakes.
