I saw the nourishing chrysanthemum buns and black rice chrysanthemum buns made by Shi Xin and Luo Yu Wu Sheng. They were so beautifully made. I felt itchy in my heart. I thought I would try to squeeze them someday. I had time to make them today

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Mix flour, yeast and water and ferment

  2. The filling uses purple sweet potato and bean paste (purple sweet potato filling alone tastes very light, and it will taste better if you add an appropriate amount of butter, condensed milk, and sugar. From a health perspective, I happened to have ready-made bean paste filling at home, so I simply mixed it together)
