Flower steamed bun

Overview

Lanzhou specialty large mooncakes, Hua Mo Mo, a childhood memory. When I was a child, every Mid-Autumn Festival, my skillful grandma would steam a large moon cake for each of our families. It's not very sweet but very fragrant. Every time I secretly eat the rose candy inside, it's so fragrant. Looking at so many layers, I thought it must be difficult to do. And the ones sold outside are too sweet after all. I finally asked for advice and gave it a try.

  15. After the water boils, steam it in a pot for one hour. If you have not boiled the water in advance, be sure to cover the buns while waiting for the water to boil to prevent the flowers from drying out. Turn off the heat and add red dots made with red yeast rice.
