Ingredients

    1 lb ground pork
    1 smoked pork sausage
    2tbsp corn starch

    4 cups self-rising flour
    1/2 cup sugar
    1.5 cup goat's milk (whole)

    Parchment paper.

Directions

Hard boil 5 eggs, cut into quarters.
Combine pork, sausage (grated) and corn starch. Do not cook.
Make a meatball using 1/4th of an egg and 1/20th of the meat mixture. Set aside on a foil-lined pan.
Make dough - combine flour, sugar, and milk, mix together well. Let rest for 5 minutes so that the dough can rise.

Using 1/20th of the dough, roll flat into a circle. Place one meatball into the center and pull sides up over the top of the meatball, creating a wrapping around the whole meatball.

Cut 20 pieces of parchment paper into squares about 3" across. Place each bun onto a piece of parchment paper.
Place bun on paper into steamer (I use a pot of water and a collapsible vegetable steamer) for 15 minutes. Be careful when removing - they will be HOT. I usually have to refill my pot in between batches - make sure your pot does not boil dry.

Makes 20 Bao.
