How to Make Soft Buns Without Oven (on a frying pan) with step wise pictures.
Super easy buns made in a frying pan. It is super soft and fluffy like a cloud. You can make any filling and stuff the buns with that.
I wanted to try out steamed buns for quite a long time, when i looked for it in youtube. I came across this recipe with is a pan fried buns but at the same time it is steamed. This method was quite interesting because the buns don’t gets dried up because we are adding some water in the pan for steam. I made a huge batch of dough and made half like this and half i made steamed buns. Both of them turned out so delicious.
