A friend shared these handy photos and recipes on her wechat today and gave permission to share them. Maybe you'd like to try to make this Chinese classic?
They are steamed buns shaped like flowers.

Here are your instructions:





 Three full bowls of flour

 use one spoon of yeast and warm water until a soft dough is formed


cover with plastic wrap 


wait about 30 minutes and dough should look like the above picture


roll out the dough and spread butter on top 


roll up the dough and cut into triangles


They should look like this


turn the pieces over so the widest part is towards the bottom


press down the middle with a chopstick to make the flower-shaped pattern


From the bottom, pinch the middle together


now it looks like this


Put on a steaming tray for 15 minutes.
Enjoy the delicious results!
