Salted Egg Custard Paos

Yes, I'm still blogging even though I said I will not be cooking until next year. Well guess what, I made Salted Egg Custard Paos with my sister this morning and it was fun! She actually got me this cook book, "Chinese Desert 100" as Christmas present this year. There's really so many yummy Chinese desert that I would like to try out when I get home. After looking though the book, we both agreed that the Salted Egg Custard Paos (or Steamed Egg Custard Buns) would be a fun thing we can both do together (also considering we both like custard buns). Although the bao dough did not turn out as soft and fluffy as we have hoped, and we had some difficulty putting more custard filling in the buns. But the overall result was still satisfactory for our first attempt. :) We even modified the recipe to suit our taste buds.Will not be posting the recipe online this time, so interested bakers out there can leave a comment or email me.

Joy, Peace and Good Health to All in 2009!!
