Black Sesame Steamed Buns

Black Sesame Steamed Buns are a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any meal. These buns are made with black sesame seeds, which are rich in antioxidants and have a nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the soft and fluffy texture of the buns.

To make these buns, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp black sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil

To start, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and black sesame seeds in a bowl. Add the milk and vegetable oil and stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Place the balls on a piece of parchment paper and cover with a damp towel. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare your steamer by bringing water to a boil in a pot or wok. Place the buns on the parchment paper into the steamer basket and steam for 10-12 minutes, or until the buns are puffed up and cooked through.
Once the buns are done, remove them from the steamer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These buns are best enjoyed warm and can be served with your favorite dipping sauce or filling.
The appearance of these Black Sesame Steamed Buns is soft and fluffy, with a beautiful speckled black color from the sesame seeds. The taste is nutty and slightly sweet, making it a perfect accompaniment to savory dishes or as a snack on its own.
