Yes I do mean tai pau.

I’ve never seen black bean buns before. Only my grandma used to make ‘em which is probably why I am so sentimental for them. It’s just red bean paste with extra sugar I think. And the tins are great.

Cin, it’s normally at the aisle where they have all sorts of flour including flour for pot stickers and etc. Costs about 2 dollars. You still need to knead the dough and wait for it to rise. The packet contains wheat flour and some raising agents. Do try it once, if you happen to see it. It produces very fluffy and white pau which our normal flour somehow can’t produce. Here’s a pic of the flour:

Ange: I will head to Vodka, Borscht and Tears soon to try their pierogi!

sue: Sorry, I didn’t include the author this time cos it’s in a previous post. It’s called ‘Making Dumplings’ by Amelia Liang.

Yum! May I enquire as to the Making Dumplings book? Sounds like a must have to add to the bookshelf.

These look fantastic & must say I’m quite partial to the odd dumpling or 400, my favourite being Polish Pierogi or Japanese gyoza!

Ivonne: Thanks! I normally come away pretty hungry after looking your blog! Helen: Are you talking about tai pau? Mmm, don't think I've had black bean paste ones before...should try that some day. Are the canned pastes any good? shapatootha: Dumplings make a great breakfast! Serve it with a sweet white tea. Anonymous: I haven't seen the ready made ones before but I love kneading the dough. And it's not very difficult either.

Those look yum! I make them once in a while too but I use the ready made Pau flour from asian supermarkets. Just add milk and sugar, voila snowy skin and fluffy dough.
