Myriad Foods Steamed Milk Buns

Steamed Milk Buns from Myriad Foods are mantou enriched with milk, which gives the dough a richer, more tender crumb and a soft, creamy aroma. The milk lends a gentle sweetness and an even paler, silkier surface than plain steamed buns. Each bun pulls apart in soft, fluffy layers with a mild dairy flavor that is comforting on its own.

Steam the frozen buns over boiling water for about ten to twelve minutes until they puff and turn glossy, or microwave one under a damp paper towel for a quick warm-up. The mellow milky taste makes these a favorite at breakfast with hot soy milk or coffee, and they are lovely split and toasted with a little butter or condensed milk.

Each 14 oz bag holds several individually shaped buns ready to steam from frozen. The dough is wheat flour and yeast enriched with milk and lightly sweetened, with no separate filling, so the soft buttery character runs through the whole bun. Keep the buns frozen and reseal the bag to protect their delicate texture.
