1. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
2. Rub 60 g of the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then stir in the granulated sugar.
3. Beat the egg with the milk and mix into the flour to form a soft dough. Knead briefly, then roll into a rectangle about 1 cm thick.
4. Spread the guava paste evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Roll up tightly from the long side and pinch the seam and ends closed.
5. Wrap the roll in a floured cloth or parchment, tie securely, and steam over simmering water for about 1 hour 15 minutes until firm.
6. Beat the remaining butter with the powdered sugar until creamy, then beat in the rum and vanilla to make a sauce.
7. Unwrap the duff, slice, and serve warm with the rum butter sauce.
