Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Add melted butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

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

Punch down the dough and divide it into equal pieces.

Shape each piece into a ball and flatten slightly.

Place a spoonful of custard in the center of each bun and fold the edges over to seal.

Arrange the buns on a baking sheet, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

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

Let cool on a wire rack.

Mix powdered sugar with a little water to create a glaze and drizzle over the buns.

Sprinkle coconut flakes on top of the glaze.
