Pau

On family's request I made pau for evening tea just now with two types of filling - red bean and mung bean filling. I was curious to try out a different recipe so I gave a try the one I saw in Mamafami's house. The texture was marvelous except the colour was so yellow. I think it could due to the flour & shortening that I used. Sorry, the photo above is censored to be in black & white as not to discredit this marvelous recipe....hehe!
