Main Ingredients- 10 frozen flower buns
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Sweetened condensed milk or honey (to taste)
Essential Equipment- Air fryer
- Air fryer
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 10 frozen flower buns. To achieve a softer texture, thaw them at room temperature for about 30 minutes to an hour before cooking. If you’re short on time, you can lightly steam them in a steamer basket for about 5 minutes. This will make the buns pliable and ready for the next step.
Step 2
Place the thawed (or steamed) flower buns in a bowl. Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil over them. Using a pastry brush, carefully coat all sides of each flower bun evenly with the oil. This oil coating is crucial for achieving a crispy texture when air frying.
Step 3
Arrange the oiled flower buns in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 160°C (320°F) and cook for approximately 10 minutes. Air fryer cooking times can vary, so it’s a good idea to check on the buns halfway through (around 5-7 minutes). Look for a golden-brown color and a crispy exterior, adjusting the time as needed to prevent burning. They are ready when beautifully golden and crisp.
Step 4
Transfer the hot, freshly fried flower buns to a serving plate. For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle generously with sweetened condensed milk or honey. These are best enjoyed immediately while they are warm and at their crispiest. Enjoy this delightful treat with your family and friends!
