Iloilo Yema-Filled Teren-Teren

Teren-teren is a local bread from Iloilo made up of 4-6 connected pieces (resembling a train, hence the name), filled with a sweet butter and sugar mixture. It's simple yet delicious, so we decided to make some ourselves; except we're filling our teren-teren with yema, inspired by Camiguin's pastel.

There's a bit of work needed to make this recipe, given that you're basically filling 32 small pieces of bread. But it's really not that tedious. Based on experience, it even becomes a bit relaxing at some point. The result is worth it: golden pieces of separable bread, filled in a sweet milky, custard-y filling.
