Last week I harvested a big bunch of scallions from my mini edible garden. I have been quite eager to try Steamed Scallion Flower Rolls when I first chanced upon it in Facebook. Then, I happened to see a post by Kit quite sometimes back. In fact, this is one of the many recipes which I have been procrastinated but this time around, without any hesitation, I went into action and finally, I am happy to say that the buns turned out very successful and delectable too!!!
Ingredients :
- 1/2 packet yeast
- 3 cups pau flour
- 1 cup of warm milk
- 6 tbsp sugar
- ¼ cups vegetable oil ( I used sunflowers oil)
For the glaze:
- 3 tbsp chopped scallions
- 1 small carrot ( shredded) (I omitted)
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
Method :
1) I used bread machine for the dough. Add ingredients as per your machine instruction to form dough and let it proof.
2) While waiting for your dough to proof in the machine, mix all the ingredients for the glaze and set aside .
3) Knead the dough again before dividing it into 12 egg sized pieces.
4) With a rolling pin, roll each pieces of dough into a long oval. Brush with glaze and make few slits.
5) Twist the dough and shape into a knot.
7) Steam the buns in steamer for 10 to 13 mins.
The bun is very smooth, soft and fluffy
We had this for lunch...
Best served warm
Great for breakfast too

ReplyDeleteGracious me, those buns are simply beautiful! You did a wonderful job. Kudos to you for harvesting your very own home grown scallions!!! Oh how I wish I could even think about making such bundles of goodness. Who knows, perhaps one day I will try:) May I ask, Ivy, what is pau flour?
Thank you so much for sharing these lovelies Ivy...
Hi Louise, thanks for your sweet compliments. By the way, pau flour is Hong Kong flour for making buns. You have a wonderful day and warmest regards :)
DeleteHi Ivy, that's a nice looking flower buns. The texture look soft and fluffy. Getting very pro now, no need to buy buns and breads from shop anymore. Homemade is still the best.
ReplyDeleteBest regards.
