Flowering steamed buns, soft and chewy, sweet and delicious, are very popular among people. I like flowering steamed buns, not only because of its deliciousness, but also because it carries my good memories.
In the early 1980s, a new pasta shop was opened near my home, specializing in corn blossom buns. Every morning, the small shop hasn’t opened yet. The shop’s entrance is already crowded with long queues, and it’s very lively. It’s hard to wait until it opens and people flock to it. , "Don't take it for others!" "Don't jump in the queue!" The voice was endless, the waiter maintained the order, and the people paid for the goods one by one. Those who bought it carried steaming blooming steamed buns in their hands, and were happy to bloom like steamed buns; those who did not buy it, waited helplessly for the next basket to be out of the pot; those who came late and were at the end could only go home empty-handed and frustrated. And back..., at that time, I often thought, it would be great to be able to make flowering mantou by myself!
Now that I have retired, I finally have time. I started to develop all kinds of delicacies. When I saw my family, young and old, relatives and friends tasting the various delicacies made by myself, I felt sweet and happy. , A sense of accomplishment emerges spontaneously. Today, I used pumpkin to make a flowering steamed bun. It does not need a knife to cut. It blooms naturally, has a golden color, a beautiful shape, soft and chewy texture, which is very attractive to appetite.

Tips:
1. Be sure to pull the agent with your hands, don't cut it, what you want is the crack that occurs when you pull it.
2. Pumpkin already contains sweetness, add more sugar and less, everyone likes it.
3. Do not put baking soda, use this method to operate, the steamed buns will bloom. The difference is that the steamed buns with baking soda are more loose and soft, and the steamed buns without baking soda are like noodle buns. They are very chewy and chewy. Sometimes put it, sometimes don't put it, change the taste.
