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

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.

Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and beaten 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 1-2 hours.

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

Shape each portion into a ball and flatten slightly; place a small piece of yema filling in the center.

Fold the dough over the filling and pinch to seal; place seam-side down on a baking sheet.

Cover the buns with a cloth and let rise again for 30-45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

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

Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter.
