Ingredients
  

  • 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

Instructions
 

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.

Serve with Condensed Milk:

  • Serve the fried mantou while still warm, drizzled with sweetened condensed milk for dipping or drizzling on top.
