Description
These soft fried buns are fluffy, golden on the outside, and can be filled with sweet or savory fillings of your choice. Perfect as a snack, appetizer, or even breakfast treat!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (plus more for frying)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- Add warm milk and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into equal pieces (about 8-10).
- Roll each piece into a ball and flatten slightly. Add your desired filling in the center, then pinch to seal.
- Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
- Fry the buns in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Serve warm, optionally with dipping sauces or toppings.
Notes
- You can fill the buns with sweet options like red bean paste, Nutella, or jam.
- Savory fillings like cheese, ham, or seasoned meat also work well.
- Ensure the oil is not too hot to avoid burning the outside before the inside is cooked.
- These buns are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven or air fryer.
