5 Minute Chinese Buns
Chinese buns are a staple item in the Chinese diet, but because traditional ones are made with yeast and take time to make I hardly ever make them. After experimenting, I developed this super easy Chinese bun recipe that takes only five minutes to make in the microwave. It's very similar in texture and flavor to a traditional bun and my go-to easy recipe when I get a craving.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp condensed milk
- 3 tbsp fat free milk
Instructions
- Using a small whisk, mix all ingredients into a microwave-safe mug until batter is smooth and no flour chunks remain. The batter will be thick. Microwave for about 1 minute. Top of bun should look dry. You should be able to remove the entire bun in one piece.
- If using silicone molds, fill about 2/3 full with batter. This recipe should be enough to make two regular silicone cupcake molds. Microwave each separately for about 30 seconds. If using something bigger or smaller, you will have to adjust time accordingly.
