Cantonese people like to order a basket when drinking morning tea, add it to brewed fragrant slices, and slowly taste its strong milk aroma. There is also the delicate and smooth taste of the milk yellow filling.
A perfect milk yellow bun, in addition to the sufficient flavor of the filling, the strong flavor of milk and egg yolk, the requirements for the dough are also very high. The dough should be as white as snow, the surface should be as smooth as fat, and the entrance should be soft as clouds. These also put higher requirements on the production process.

2. If the milk yellow filling wants to have a soft and sandy taste, be sure to take it out every 10 minutes when steaming, stir it up with an egg beater and then steam it in the pan, otherwise the filling will form one piece;

    If you want to make a smooth, white and soft dough, there are also several points to pay attention to: First, you must choose high-quality flour. Whiter flour such as "snowflake powder" will look better than the finished product; Second, the dough must be fully stirred. It is of course convenient to knead the dough with a machine. If you don't knead it by hand, you must also pay attention to the kneading time. Generally, kneading it by hand for at least one hour to extend the dough to a more suitable texture; When making the dough for the third time, be careful not to make it too big. If the temperature is too high or too low, the dough will not grow well. Generally, about 28 degrees and 40 minutes is the normal time. When the room temperature is high in summer, it may only take 25 minutes. In winter, it has to be sent to the oven. If it is at room temperature, the relative time will be extended. In short, the time is not fixed. As long as you pay attention to it at any time, the dough will be about twice as big. The dough will collapse after being cooked and cannot be steamed again. The taste of the dough will be relatively stiff and not soft; Fourth, if you want the surface to be smooth, you can sift the flour in advance, stir the dough with the machine, and then knead it with your hands for about ten minutes. If you knead the dough purely by hand, add more beating action, so that the surface of the dough can be made smooth through the contact with the chopping board; Fifth, pay attention to the technique when shaping, collect the filling with the tiger's mouth and close the mouth downwards, so that the front of the steamed buns can remain smooth.
