Make a "well" in the middle of the mixture.

Gradually pour the milk into the well while using your fingers to combine it with the dry mixture.

After the milk has been absorbed, add the water and continue to work the dough.

Add lard in small pieces and continue working the dough.

Using a dough scraper in one hand, gather the dough together while kneading with the other hand.

i am not sure how you make them but here i go to supermarkets and buy them already prepared in a bag and just steamed them at homePlease have you any recipes for those big puffy steamed Chinese buns? And dipping sauces?
They can be tricky so I buy a mix in Chinatown here in Toronto, Canada, as for stuffing there is not limt when I go the Dim Sum I have BBQ pork, Curried Beef or Chicken, even one with a chinese sausage in side.



They are made with a combination dough, some baking powder and a bit of yeast, like the Indian naan bread, but steamed, you just make the dough let rise, portion it out into 12 small balls, rollit flat like a pancake add your filling bring the edges together, place it on a piece of oiled or grease paper, and steam them for 30-45 minutes, and then serve, the mix has instructions, if you live inan area were Asian shops/groceryare not available then a prepackaged biscuit mix with a bit of dry yeast dissolved in water, with an additional bit of flour to make the dough, let it rise, and then proceed as before stated.
