Round steamed buns that are white and smooth on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside

Overview

On a cold day, I personally steam a basket of steamed buns, boil a pot of porridge, and fry up a plate of delicious sausages made by myself. Although it is simple, it is very comfortable to eat. To quote my husband’s original words: The food was delicious! Finally, steamed buns are white and smooth on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside! This is really not easy for me, a southern housewife! Hurry up and post an article to win some praise. Although I had steamed steamed buns before, I always couldn't figure it out. The appearance and taste of the steamed buns were always unsatisfactory, so I gradually gave up the idea of making my own steamed buns. My husband is from the north and likes to eat pasta, especially steamed buns. My children and I also like to eat steamed buns, so I buy a bag of steamed buns every once in a while. After buying a bag of steamed buns again, I secretly cheered unyieldingly and refused to admit defeat. I didn’t believe that I couldn’t make delicious steamed buns. After some research, I found that the biggest difference between the steamed buns I made before and the ones I bought was that they were not soft enough. The take-out steamed buns must have added baking powder. In this case, I could also add a small amount myself, so I did an experiment with high-quality aluminum-free baking powder. As expected, it was a big win! The steamed buns made are completely comparable to the steamed buns sold in Shandong!
