Golden Flower Buns








Frying transforms Steamed Flower Buns into a totally new dish; the crisp, golden crust contrasts nicely with the flufy lightness of the steamed interior. I was told by my friend, Agnes, that these fried buns are very popular in Singapore and they are served with Chilli Crabs. In her recent party, she made Chilly Crabs and i told her that i will make the Golden Flower buns and they turned out so good that guests just ate them straight.


Ingredients:




2 cups peanut/cooking oil




Method:




Heat oil, add the oil, and heat the oil to 350 f.


Add 2 or 3 of the buns, depending on the size of the wok, and deep fry, turning constantly, until the loaves are golden brown.


Remove and let drain on a cake rack placed on a kitchen-towel-lined baking sheet.


Deep fry the remaining buns in the same manner.


Serve immediately

    i don't know about baking instead of frying. The time to brown these buns in the oven will take too long and dry them out whereelse frying just take about 1 minute

  3. Hi Lily,
    Do you steam the buns before deep frying them or deep fry them after proofing?

  4. Hie Lily,

    Thanks for the wonderful recipe.

    A question though, do I fry the buns straight after steaming or should they be cooled before frying?

    Thanks again.

    if you follow the rule of deep frying, the buns will not be soggy at all.

    yes, they are delicious, crispy on the outside and soft inside
