22 | | 1. Sift together flours and icing sugar. Place sifted flour mixture in a large mixing bowl and make a well in the middle. |
23 | | 2. Fill well with lukewarm water, vinegar and yeast. Use a spatula, gently stir the water to dissolve the yeast then slowly bring together flour mixture. |
24 | | 3. Add in shortening or oil and knead for 10-15 minutes until soft dough is formed. It should be smooth on the surface. |
25 | | 4. Cover dough with damp cloth and let it rise for 30 minutes or until it is doubled in size. I used bread maker’s dough mode to prepare my dough up to this step. |
26 | | 5. Dissolve baking powder in cold water, sprinkle over dough and knead until well combined. Divide dough into 16 equal portions and flatten with a rolling pin to make a 3” circle.

27 | | 6. Arrange buns into a steamer, leave about 3 cm gap in between buns. Spray water mist over buns, and steam in a preheated steamer on high heat for 12 minutes. Remove buns from steamer and cool on rack. |
