I have been a baker of high end wedding cakes for about 25 years, so pastry is a busman’s holiday of sorts for me. However, I have seriously cut back on my work load this year, so I get to play a bit more.
I have a memory from about 50 years ago of a pastry I used to eat in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It consisted of a very light bread (roll) in various shapes .... knots, twists, etc.....that had been brushed with something that gathered in all the nooks and crannies and made a custard like surprise where you broke it apart. I have never seen anything similar.
Any ideas?
I’m wondering if they are ‘chipas’?

Here’s a list of sweets and desserts from Argentina, some with pictures:

There are also bolas de fraile, but I can’t find anything in English:

Is it similar to this?

I’m curious to see if any of the suggestions come up with “it” - keep us posted.
