i made this 4 my language art class. my sister also nagged me to make it. the first time i was so frustrated because i kept screwing up.
1. i used 65% oil spread margarine for the topping and the results was kind of gooey/gummy. i added about 1/8cp of flour til it was like soft dough/clay or spritz dough.
2. the topping melted a bit because the oven wasn't completely preheated. my fault.
3. if you don't want to make two different topping, here is a suggestion. make the topping as directed, exept that you add both cinamon and vanilla before adding the flour. i added around 1/8 cp flour or til like soft dough. its just an easier to handle version of the cinnamon topping.
4. i used 1/4cp water and 3/4cp milk since i couldn't find evaporated milk.
5. i baked it at 350-375 F for about 15 mins. i checked the bottom of the bun to see if it was finished. it should be a bit more than golden brown.
*another thing is that you can remake a half of the topping if you screwed up. just half the topping. i also used powdered sugar for the dough and topping cuz i ran out of granulated. there's no difference. not that i noticed. i also made 20 conchas like suggested. i quartered the dough to make it easier for equal size. each quart make five.
