Tips:
1. After the pumpkin is steamed, water will be released, so no extra water was added when kneading the pumpkin dough;
2. After the pumpkin puree is hot and pressed, put it to warm and knead it into the flour. Too hot will destroy the activity of the spontaneous flour; it is better to warm the milk;
3. The time for steaming in the pot is determined according to the actual situation. My steaming for 15 minutes is just right.
