milk-scented steamed buns
There are two types of white steamed buns that have a deep impression. One is the heavy and porcelain Shandong steamed buns, and the other is the small, light, sweet and soft milk-scented steamed buns that are more common in Guangzhou-style teahouses. Shandong steamed buns usually use laomian noodles, but I don't know much about this. It is said that when making Shandong steamed buns, because the water content is low, you have to use your milk to knead the dough, and make your arms sour every time you make it. So I finally decided to try the Guangzhou-style milk-scented steamed buns that I am familiar with.
Because restaurants usually use special flour, some flour may be added with whitening agent or bleached. Moreover, some fluffy agent was added, so the steamed buns were particularly white, soft and had a strong aroma. The steamed buns I make at home are not as good as those sold outside, but the most important thing is health, you can eat with peace of mind, and you can also enjoy the fun of doing it.

    Here are a few tips to make steamed buns softer: 1) Add a small amount of lard while kneading the dough, which can make the texture of the steamed buns softer. 2) Mix in some dry starch while kneading the dough. 3) Knead the dough thoroughly; only proceed with the first fermentation after the dough is smooth and no longer sticky. 4) After the first fermentation is complete, add a little dry starch and 1/3 teaspoon of baking powder, and knead the dough again until smooth. 5) It is best to let the cut dough pieces rest for about 15 minutes before putting them in the pot. 6) Place them in the pot with cold water and steam over medium heat; this allows the dough to ferment more fully in the pot. 7) Do not open the lid immediately after turning off the heat, otherwise they may easily shrink; it is best to let them sit for 3 minutes before opening the lid.
