Its worth a try if u like dim sum...pau is the main dim sum that my husband will not miss. Now its my daughter's turn....maybe she's like 'father like daughter'...heehee!
Wah, these looks yummy! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks...hee hee! Will be making again today, if nice.....will call u!
ReplyDeleteIs it! I cannot wait yeah! ;D
ReplyDeleteHi, just not sure and would like to clarify the dough does not need leave to rise after knead into smoth dough?
ReplyDeleteHi Soo,
ReplyDeleteYeah this recipe doesn't need time to rise.
All you have to do is wait till it double size (about 15 mins) after wrapping the fillings.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this recipe.
I am all ready to try out this recipe. Can I check that the pau flour is the type from Bluekey (in a box)? or just any normal low gluten flour (like Hong Kong flour) will do?
Hi Cookie,
ReplyDeleteIts just the normal low gluten flour / Hong KOng flour will do. Remember do use the good quality of shortening so that it'll turn out real white or else will be alittle yellowish.
Happy Baking..;)
