  • Pan-fried willow leaf buns Make Tips

    1) Dissolve the sugar in boiling water. Wait for it to cool to about 35°C, then dissolve the yeast in the water and pour it into the flour. This will help the dough rise faster. 2) After turning off the heat, let it sit covered for 3 minutes before opening the lid. This makes the dough skin plumper and prevents it from shrinking. 3) Use a thin flour-water mixture instead of plain water. The bottom of the pan-fried buns will have a very thin, crispy layer. The ratio of flour to water is 1:10.
