Steamed buns are the main staple food in northern China. Southerners mainly use rice, but occasionally they like to eat a little bit of steamed buns. Especially when it is made into a variety of steamed buns, it is more pleasing to the eye and has a great appetite.

Today, this butterfly steamed bun is often made at home. Adding pumpkin makes it more nutritious, and the color is more beautiful. The little baby at home likes this flowery delicacy. It’s just that there’s not enough time. This time I used a fermentation process to make the steamed buns. After they were cooked, the beautiful butterflies have changed. It’s a little regrettable. But, even if it will be, it’s recommended. When friends make it, ferment it before making it, then wake it up and steam it. "
