Today the weather was quite hot about 31 degrees, so lazy to go out and I decided to make this Seremban Xiao Bao.

80g cooking oil
35g sugar
7g golden syrup

2. Dissolve sugar and syrup in water and add to the above. knead dough until smooth and rest for 15 mins.
3. Divide dough into 15 x23g pieces.

Glaze – 2 egg yolks


Method:
1. Wrap oil dough into water dough and roll it out into a thin rectangular sheet.
2. Roll the sheet down ino a swiss roll shape. Turn 90deg and repeat once.
3. Press dough with palm and roll out into a circular sheet.
4. place filling in the middle and pleat pastry upwards towards the centre.
5. Egg wash and bake at 190 degC for 20-25 minutes.
6. Egg wash again halfway through baking.

Butter Milk Buns- 奶油包

Butter Milk Buns are very popular in Malaysia and Brunei. When I tried to look for it in Perth, I could find any. I guessed this must be another Malaysian creation. This is my 2nd attempt with the fillings. The first filling recipes which I copied from a US website was totally useless and a failure. This time I used the recipe from a Brunei friend. It was a success. The Bun dough recipe was from Kuala Terengganu, a specialty over there. The Bun was very soft even after it cooled down. The butter milk was very nice as well. Two of the fillings in my buns burst during baking but that was because I did not cover up the dough well and it leaked out. Rest of the Buns were perfect. *makes 11pcs of medium size Buns Gelatinised dough 50g bread flour 35ml hot boiling water 1.
