- 3 cups dumpling flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- A pinch of salt
- Oil for frying
- Condensed milk for drizzling
Prepare the Dough:
In a large bowl, combine the dumpling flour, sugar, active dry yeast, and a pinch of salt.
Gradually add the warm water and vegetable oil to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
On a lightly floured countertop, work the dough for approximately 8 to 10 minutes until it achieves a smooth and elastic texture.
Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover it with a damp towel, and allow it to rise for about an hour, or until it has doubled in volume.
Shape the Mantou:
After the dough has expanded, gently deflate it to release any trapped air.
Divide the dough into small portions, shaping them into oval or round buns.
Place the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cover with a cloth.
Allow them to rest for an additional 20-30 minutes for a second rise.
Fry the Mantou:
Heat enough oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat for deep frying.
Carefully add the mantou buns to the hot oil in batches, frying for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried mantou from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
