Egg and milk blossoming steamed bun

Egg and milk blossoming steamed bun

Tall blossoming mantou enriched with egg, milk, and a touch of lard, steamed until they split open into soft, snow-white peaks with a lightly sweet crumb.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step image

    Prepare the main ingredients: zero-calorie sugar, eggs, milk, high-sugar-tolerant yeast, and all-purpose flour.

  2. 2
    Step image

    Mix the milk, zero-calorie sugar, and high-sugar-tolerant yeast evenly, and let it sit for five minutes.

  3. 3
    Step image

    Put 270 grams of flour, one egg, and the mixed yeast milk into the container.

    Step image

    After the flour forms a dough, add 10 grams of lard and continue kneading into a smooth dough.

  5. 5
    Step image

    Roll the dough into a long shape, divide it into four equal portions, and knead each into a bun shape. Use a knife to make three marks on the surface without cutting through, as shown in the picture, and tidy up the shape.

    After everything is made, place it on the steamer paper with the cut side facing down, cover it with a lid, and let it proof.

  7. 7
    Step image

    The properly proofed steamed buns are 1.5 times larger than before, feel lighter when picked up, and spring back when gently pressed. This means they are well fermented.

  8. 8
    Step image

    Place it in a skillet and pan-fry one side until browned.

  9. 9
    Step image

    As shown in the picture, pan-fry with the cut side facing down.

  10. 10
    Step image

    Then place it in the steamer, with the pan-fried side facing up, and steam for 18-20 minutes after the water boils.

    The egg custard flower buns, both fluffy and soft, are finished.

    Sweet and delicate, the steamed bun has the texture of bread.
