Buckwheat steamed buns

Made steamed buns.Buckwheat steamed buns Make Tips
1) Because the buckwheat flour has no gluten, it is not suitable to put too much. 2) Fermentation is slow in winter, so warm water can be injected into the pot to promote fermentation. 3) During secondary fermentation, it feels light and can be put into the pot. 4) When cutting steamed buns, you should use the knife quickly. If the cut steamed buns are broken, gather them towards the middle with your hands, and the steamed buns will look better. 5) Do not open the lid immediately after turning off the heat, otherwise it will easily retract. It is best to simmer for 3 minutes before opening the lid.
