Airy fried buns
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. It's not difficult to make fluffy fried buns, but many people don't know how to handle the dough—and that's no surprise! Here are some secrets from my aunt: 1) Sift the flour so it becomes enriched with oxygen; 2) Activate yeast only with warm liquid (not exceeding 40°C), and add only sugar and a little flour to the yeast; 3) Add salt and oil only when the dough is almost kneaded, so as not to inhibit yeast growth; 4) Never knead the dough too thick—add more flour later if needed; 5) Keep the dough in a warm, draft-free place! Good luck, and serve the buns cooled down or slightly warm.
