I'm using the same recipe as Char Siew Steamed Bun which add in baking powder after the 1st proving instead of adding at the beginning.

2. Transfer the dough on working surface, spread out the dough with hand.
3. Add double action baking powder and water in a small bowl. Stir with spoon and make sure is fully dissolved (only mix when about to use. Bubbles will appear as you stir). Pour the mixture on top of spread dough. Slightly knead till well combine.

Hi Viv,
ReplyDeleteWith or without vanilla, these buns looks very nice to eat. Interesting that the smell of vanilla only appear after you re-heat the buns.
