Combine the flour, sugar, salt, yeast, baking powder, and skim milk in a bowl.

2
Mix them together, then add in enough of the warm water to bring the mixture together into a dough.
-
3
Once you can bring the dough together, add in the vegetable oil, and knead the dough until the surface becomes smooth and elastic.
-
4
Cover the dough with a damp tea towel, or spray with water and cover with plastic wrap before setting the dough to rise for about 30 minutes.
-
5
When the dough has roughly doubled in size, gently remove the dough and place it on your work surface.
-
6
Divide the dough into portions according to how many buns you want to make.
-

#Keep the dough moist with a spray bottle or damp tea towel during this process.

8
Don't let it dry out.

9
Form each piece of dough into a ball, and flatten it into a disc with a rolling pin.
-
10
Add the filling and wrap it up in the dough.

Here you want to make the center of the dough a bit thicker than the edges, otherwise the juices from the filling may leak through.

12
Set the finished buns on some parchment paper, and line them up in a steamer, leaving space between the buns so that they don't stick together.
-
13
Spray the buns so they do not dry out, and leave them to rise for about 15 minutes.
-
14
Once they have finished rising, steam the buns over boiling water for 15 minutes (high heat).

15
Once the buns are steamed, you are done!!

If you do not have a steamer basket, you can steam these buns in a pot.

Just be sure to place a tea towel between the top of the pot and the lid, and to leave the lid a tiny bit open.

This will keep the buns from getting too wet.
