These small sweet steamed buns are popular throughout the Philippines and best served to soak up sauces and broths. Be sure to buy full-fat coconut milk and, before opening it, soak the can in hot water for 5 minutes to melt the solids that congeal on top. Shake before opening.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 3/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1-1/2 cups rice flour
- 1 cup bread flour or all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup canned coconut milk
Preparation
In separate bowl, whisk together rice flour, bread flour, the remaining sugar and sa< set aside.
In stand mixer with paddle, or large bowl with wooden spoon, beat egg; beat in coconut milk, 1/2 cup (125 mL) water and yeast mixture. Add flour mixture; beat until smooth and thick, about 5 minutes. Cover and let rise in warm place until bubbly and increased about
1-1/2 times in bulk, 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
Beat batter down lightly. Spoon into greased mini-muffin cups to come just below top. Place on rack over wok of boiling water, or in bamboo steamer. Cover and steam until buns rise and tester inserted in centre comes out dry, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool in pan on rack for 3 minutes. (Make-ahead: Let cool.
