Sweet Corn Mantou (steamed buns) 甜粟米馒头

My daughter requested some plain mantou (steamed buns) as she prefer raw and plain steamed buns rather than with filling like normal baozi. Anyway, i didn't make the very raw mantau without any flavours, instead i added some sweet corn cream into it as inspired from a similar sweet corn baozi that i tasted earlier.

Making mantou is easy as you don't need to proof for too long..

recently i used the Bonuslink points to redeem this two tier steamer, i can steam all mantou at one go ^_^

Raw and plain mantou, just eating like that also good, with a cup of coffee, perfect!

I feel the corn taste is not strong enough, if you like to try this recipe, you can increase sweet corn cream a bit and reduce milk at the same time.
