Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 8 grams Baking powder
- 2 grams Salt
- 150 milliliters Milk
- 15 grams Sugar
- 15 milliliters Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Gradually pour in the milk while mixing the dough with a spoon or your hands. Add the vegetable oil and continue to mix until the dough comes together.
Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes on a lightly floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball or shape it as desired.
Place each dough piece on a small square of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Prepare a pot with a steamer basket or plate that fits inside. If you don’t have a steamer, a heat-safe plate inverted in a large pot with some water works. Make sure the buns won't get wet from the water below.
Bring water in the pot to a gentle boil over medium heat. Place the buns (along with their parchment paper bases) onto the steamer basket or plate, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for expansion.
Cover the pot with a lid, making sure no steam escapes, and steam the buns for 12 minutes.
Turn off the heat and let the buns rest for 2 minutes in the steamer before removing them.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces or fillings. Enjoy!
