Method
Steamed Milk Buns
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, active dry yeast, baking powder, and salt. Mix well. In a saucepan, warm the whole milk and melt the unsalted butter together. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and knead until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour.

Shape and Steam
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal pieces (about 10). Shape each piece into a bun and place them in a steamer lined with parchment paper. Steam the buns for about 15-20 minutes until fluffy. Serve warm.

Roll and Fry
Divide the rested dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle. Brush with vegetable oil and sprinkle with chopped scallions. Roll tightly into a log, then coil into a spiral. Flatten gently. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry each pancake for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

Cook the Blini
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a bit of unsalted butter. Pour batter into the skillet in small rounds (about 2-3 inches in diameter). Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Serve warm with your choice of toppings.
