You are in the middle of bao-haven in Chinatown =) How are things looking at York this term?

Oh wow, they look pretty good and authentic. Actually you could have probebly left the top 'open' a little to simulate those dim sum ones!

Need to have dim sum at a proper place to remember what they actually look like! =)

Those look tasty. I'm sure Kit won't be able to resist trying it out. One question though- what is mixed flour?

No idea what the proportions are, but probably some version of the dry ingredients used in a recipe like this: http://coconutlime.blogspot.com/2007/01/steamed-pork-buns-char-siu-bao.html

mix of high and low gluten wheat flour i think... but hor but hor! the best bao must use LOW GLUTEN flour and liberal dose of rising agent then will be fluffy ok, ladies!?

And i am stuck in mongolia now. it is sunday. life sucks.

BQ: would self raising flour work then?
Commiserations all round. You got on your flight to freedom yet?
