A soft, fluffy pau with savoury and a little spicy filling for a change from the usual sweet varieties. Refrigerate paus in airtight container if not eating soon.
Ingredients
[makes 16 pieces]
350 gm pau flour or plain flour sifted together with 1 tsp double action baking powder
Mix together - 200 ml lukewarm water, 40 gm caster sugar and 1/4 tsp vinegar
1 tsp instant yeast
Using a Dough Mixer or Hand Knead- Combine all the ingredients [except shortening] in a mixing bowl. Knead until soft [about 5-10 minutes]. Then add in the shortening, continue to knead until soft, smooth and elastic.
- Shape into a ball and cover to rest for about 20-30 minutes or until double in size.
- Punch down dough and remove dough to a floured surface, shape into a round ball. Divide into 16 equal portions. Shape each into a ball, then roll into flat circle.
- Wrap a tablespoon of filling with each flatten dough. Gather the edges into round or pleated shape paus.
- Place shaped paus on parchment or greased proof paper in the steaming tray.
- Leave to prove for 15 - 20 minutes or until double in size.
- Steam over high heat for 12 minutes in bamboo or electric steamer. Off heat and leave paus for a further 3 minutes before uncovering to cool on rack. This is to prevent wrinkle, rough looking pau skin.
