Lee,
Next time, knead for a longer time.

this is the best recipe I have tried so far! so soft and fluffy like a little pillow. the only trouble I had was getting the tops completely smooth. I noticed tiny air bubbles after steaming. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this?

My family and I really enjoyed this recipe and I will make again. I used 140 ml of water to make the buns since I didn’t have enough milk and added the suggested oil. I will probably serve with pickled veggies in the future.

Even accounting for Boston’s dry winter air, I had to add a lot more than 125 mls to get a cohesive dough. Also why some measures in Cups and some Mls, why not grms?

Nice Catch! It should be 140ml.

Which is it, please.

Thanks Swara! I am a bun additive actually. Making lots of buns, different flavors and shapes at home. So welcome aboard! Fluffy buns are so satisfying. Happy cooking.

Tried the bun recipe – perfect outcome!!
The proportions and measurements were spot on and the buns came out fluffy and light.
I did use active dry yeast however and mixed it with warm milk and sugar first.

I made a vegetarian filling and it was loved by my friends and family!
