🍳 Cookware

📝 Preparation Steps

Line the basket of a steamer with wax paper.

Fold

Pop open can of biscuits and flatten each biscuit into approx. 3 1/2" rounds. Fold each round in half (like a mini taco) and pinch edges together to seal.

Add buns

Place buns in steamer with an inch or two of space in between each bun.

Place in Pan

Set steamer in a large wok or very large pan.

Fill wok or pan with as much water as possible, without the water touching bottom of the steamer. There should be about 3/4 - 1" of space between pan and steamer to ensure the boiling water doesn't reach the buns.

Steam

Cover steamer tightly. Bring water to a boil. Reduce to a medium-low boil and let steam about ⏱️ 20-25 minutes.

Rest

Turn heat off and let buns rest ⏱️ 5 minutes before removing cover.
