Pumpkin Blossom Steamed Buns

Overview

Flowering steamed buns are soft and chewy, sweet and delicious, and are very popular among people. I like flowering steamed buns, not only because of its deliciousness, but also because it carries good memories for me. In the early 1980s, a new noodle shop opened near my home, specializing in corn blossom steamed buns. Every morning, before the shop opened, the door was already crowded with people, and there was a long queue. It was very lively. When it finally opened, people rushed in and no one was allowed to carry it for others! No jumping in line! The sound is endless, the waiter maintains order, and people pay for the goods one by one. Those who bought it carried steaming steamed steamed buns with their hearts as happy as the steamed buns; those who didn't buy it had no choice but to wait for the next basket to come out; those who came late and were at the end of the queue could only return empty-handed and resentful... At that time, I often thought how great it would be to be able to make flowering steamed buns by myself! Now that I am retired and I finally have time, I have started to develop various kinds of delicacies. When I see my family, young and old, relatives and friends tasting the various delicacies I made by myself, I feel sweet in my heart, and a sense of happiness and accomplishment arises spontaneously. Now is the season when pumpkins are on the market in large quantities. I made a flowering steamed bun with pumpkins. They bloom naturally without cutting with a knife. They are golden in color, beautiful in shape, soft and chewy, and very appetizing.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Steam the pumpkin and puree it in a blender.

   

2. 2 Mix flour and yeast powder, add pumpkin puree, and knead into a smooth dough while adding.

   

3. 3 Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

   

4. 4 Deflate the fermented dough and knead until the surface is smooth.

   

5. 5 Roll the dough into a long roll and let it rise for 5-10 minutes.

   

6. 6 Put water in the pot. After the water in the steamer is boiling and steaming, use your hands to directly pick up the dough. Do not knead the dough and do not shape it. Place the dough face up directly into the steamer covered with wet drawer cloth. There should be a gap in the middle, because it will become larger during steaming.

   

7. 7 Keep steaming over high heat for 15 minutes, turn off the heat, and then uncover the pot after simmering for 3-5 minutes.
