Christmas-themed treats bring joy to the holiday season, and Santa Claus steamed buns are a delightful, edible craft perfect for all ages. Here’s a simple guide to creating these festive treats.
Ingredients & Preparation:
Start with basic dough: 500g all-purpose flour, 5g yeast, 10g sugar, 250ml warm milk, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth, knead for 10 minutes, and let it rise for 1 hour until doubled. For the filling, use red bean paste or mashed sweet potatoes for a sweet touch.
Shaping the Buns:
1. Face & Hat: Divide dough into 50g portions. Roll one into a ball for the head. Flatten another into a disc, cut it into a semicircle, and wrap it around the top to form Santa’s hat.
2. Features: Use black sesame seeds for eyes, a carrot slice for the nose, and red food coloring to draw a rosy cheek.
3. Body: Shape a larger portion into an oval for the body, and use a toothpick to create a belt with black dough.
Steaming & Serving:
Place buns on parchment paper, steam for 15 minutes over medium heat, and rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm with hot cocoa—they’re as delicious as they are adorable!
These buns make wonderful gifts or a fun activity with kids, spreading Christmas cheer one bite at a time.
