Is this a baos or a cake?? ^_^ It is a bao of course. It is a nestled bao.
有蛋糕又有包子又有内馅..是蛋糕还是包子呢??
是包子而名叫窝包.
The bao skin act as a bowl or a nest that hold the filling inside ..nice and special right..:p
看这包子像个碗/鸟巢把馅料都装在里边..有趣吧!

窝包子熟了..看看上面
and side view...
再看看旁边...
把包子的面团分割好, 杆平和圆盖在挞杯或发糕杯的外层.
蒸熟再脱模. 放入内馅. 倒入蛋糕在面上. 蒸至熟.
Have this with tea or coffee and Enjoy!!
配上茶或咖啡也很不错哦!!

ReplyDeleteI tried making the 鸡窝包 last month but it was not successful, I had to roll the dough into strips and coil it around a bowl, then put the fillings inside, and turn the bowl upside down. I failed bcos the dough stuck to the bowl, haha!
ReplyDeleteYours look so easy and tempting, thumbs up!
