Finally used our bamboo steamer!

Jennie and I wanted filled, steamed buns for Christmas.  We made braised carrot purée yesterday to fill them with today.   I bought a bamboo steamer a couple months ago but never opened it until today!  Super successful!  And tasty.

Here's the recipe we used:

2-1/2 teaspoons yeast

1/2 cup Plain Soymilk, heated to 110

1-1/2 cups GF baking mix

1 tablespoon margarine 

2 tablespoons sugar

Mix the yeast and 1/2 cup baking mix in a medium bowl.  Add the hot Soymilk.  Whisk until dissolved and slightly foamy.

Melt the margarine and mix in the sugar.  Add to the yeast mixture with 3/4 cup baking mix.

Stir until a soft dough forms.  Cover and let rise for about 15 minutes. 

Jennie shaped about 10 smaller, filled buns by making rounds, pressing a hole in the middle, adding the filling, and adding a lid of dough.

We put a little Bragg Liquid Amino in the steaming water too.
