In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and granulated sugar. Whisk them together until well combined and creamy.

Add the egg, milk, and ube extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Whisk until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth.

Sift the all-purpose flour and ube powder into the wet mixture. Whisk until thoroughly combined, ensuring no lumps remain and the topping mixture is smooth and vibrant purple.

Transfer the prepared ube topping mixture into a piping bag. Set aside.

Prepare your dinner rolls. If using salted butter as a filling, make a small cut or hole in the center of each dinner roll and insert a small piece of butter.

If using ube halaya as a filling, snip the tip of a piping bag (or use a small spoon) and pipe a small amount of ube halaya into the center of each dinner roll.

Pipe swirls of the ube topping onto the top of each dinner roll, covering the surface. You can vary the size of the swirls (small, medium, large) for a decorative effect.

Carefully place the topped ube buns into an air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Air fry for 10 minutes, or until the topping is set and lightly golden.

Once air-fried, remove the Lazy Ube Roti / Ube Buns from the air fryer and serve warm.
