Aunty Young（安迪漾）: 金瓜包(Pumpkin Pau)

继续捏包练习，为了支持这个月的“小拇指”和“最佳食谱”活动，

特别做了金瓜包，以符合“金瓜”和“包”的主题。

Continuing my pau pleating practice! Since the theme for this month's Little Thumbs Up("LTU") and Best Recipes for Everyone("BREE") are "pumpkin" and "steamed buns" respectively, I decided to combine both and make Pumpkin Paus.

这款包子，如那天分享的香芋包，都属素食包子。

希望一些如素的朋友们会喜欢。
Just like the Taro Pau, this Pumpkin Pau is also suitable for vegetarians. If you happen to be a vegetarian, I hope you like this!

Pumpkin Pau

Ingredient for skin :

A : (mixed just prior to using)
     1 tsp instant yeast
     40ml water
B : 140g pau flour
     50g icing sugar
     10g shortening

80g pumpkin (diced, steamed and mashed)

For filling :

80g pumpkin (diced, steamed and mashed)

30g caster sugar

20g corn oil

20ml fresh milk

1/4 tsp salt

40g toasted pumpkin seeds

Material needed :

8 paper cups

Method :

1. For filling: Heat wok, add in filling and fry till its consistency has thickened. Add in toasted pumpkin seeds, stir well and dish up, cool and divide into 8 portions.

2. For skin: Combine ingredients (B) in a big mixing bowl. Add in ingredient (A) and mix well. Invert onto a tabletop and knead with your palms for 2 minutes till dough becomes shiny and soft. Return dough to the big bowl and cover with a piece of cloth. Proof for 30 minutes. Divide into 8 portions.

3. To shape: Flatten a dough from no. (2) into a circle. Flatten the edges so that the center bulges slightly and place in a portion of the filling. Gather the edges, seal opening and lay it facing upwards on a flattened paper cup. Repeat process until all the dough is used up. Cover and proof for 30 minutes.

4. Bring water to a boil in a wok, then place a steaming rack in the wok. Cover the inside of the wok lid with a cloth(to prevent the water droplets from dripping onto the paus). Arrange no.(3) on the steaming rack. Cover the wok and steam over medium heat for 10 minutes or till thoroughly cooked.

加了些烤香金瓜籽，不但添香气，也丰富了口感。
With the toasted pumpkin seeds, the paus taste better and has an added bonus crunch in every bite.
