We had a somewhat underwhelming sense at Buddha's Day terminal month, alongside the steamed custard buns to the lowest degree whelming of all. They were packaged ones, took one-half an hr to receive, too weren't vegan. Our friend Bec reminisced that custard bao were a pre-vegan favourite of hers, too I got to wondering whether I mightiness live on able to brand them myself.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 few weeks later, nosotros invited Bec too her household unit of measurement over for luncheon too I embarked on a bun-steaming bonanza. I pulled some home-made seitan out of the freezer, sauteing it alongside onion too spices to brand a mock-BBQ pork filling. Then I laid almost making a thick vegan-friendly custard filling, taking inspiration from China Sichuan Food. I made a double batch of yeasted bun dough, fashioning massive BBQ bao too slightly daintier dessert buns, too Michael stir-fried some Chinese broccoli piece I supervised the bamboo steamers.
We took on the buns alongside gusto, too I had to remind everyone (myself included) to larn out room for the custard ones. They were a worthy showtime effort, alongside hot, tearable white dough too a sweet, yellowish centre. I couldn't assistance wishing that they were only a piffling sweeter outside, too a piffling fluffier, alongside a less floury flavor inside. But all that cornflour is what has the thick custard filling behaving therefore well, too I'll live on reluctant to trim it. Best of all, Bec seemed to larn a boot out of them - mission accomplished.
Steamed custard buns
(based on this BBQ bun recipe past times ErinWiko,
too a custard filling recipe on China Sichuan Food)
bun dough
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon caster sugar
1 x 7g packet instant dry out yeast
1 loving cup warm H2O
iii cups patently flour
spray oil
custard filling
1 1/2 tablespoons custard powder
1/2 loving cup cornflour
100mL soy milk
1/3 loving cup caster sugar
iii tablespoons margarine
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking pulverisation too salt. In a modest bowl, whisk the saccharide too dry out yeast into the warm water. Give it a infinitesimal or ii to banking concern jibe that it's foaming too live. Pour the yeasty H2O into the flour bowl too mix it all together thoroughly to cast a dough. Knead the dough within the bowl or on a build clean lightly floured bench for 5-10 minutes, until smooth. Spray a build clean bowl alongside oil, identify the dough inwards it too gyre it some to coat it inwards the oil, therefore encompass the bowl alongside a tea towel. Leave the dough inwards a warm identify to ascent to double the size, almost an hour.
In a small-medium saucepan, stir together the custard powder, cornflour too sugar. Whisk inwards the soy milk until it's every bit polish every bit yous tin achieve. Set the saucepan over low-medium oestrus too add together the margarine, stirring it every bit it melts. Gently arrive at too stir the custard, scraping the bottom too sides of the saucepan to forbid it from burning. Continue until the custard is thick too gluey, almost 10 minutes, too plough off the heat. Beat out whatever lumps alongside some vigorous stirring, therefore laid the custard aside to cool.
When the dough is ready, separate it into 12 equal portions. Lay out some baking newspaper to move on. Use a rolling pivot to gyre each constituent into a circle, slightly thinner some the border than inwards the middle. Spoon a rounded tablespoons of custard into the centre, therefore get together upwards the dough edges to plication it some the filling, pinching it together to close. Cut a modest foursquare of baking newspaper too laid the bun seam side downward on it too marking a cross on the top, transferring the bun to a steamer. Repeat alongside the remaining dough too filling. Steam the buns for 10 minutes too serve them immediately.
