   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1         tablespoon  active dry yeast
   1           teaspoon  sugar -- white
      1/4           cup  all-purpose flour
      1/4           cup  water
      1/2           cup  warm water
   1 1/2           cups  all-purpose flour
      1/4      teaspoon  salt
   2        tablespoons  sugar -- white
   1         tablespoon  vegetable oil
      1/2      teaspoon  baking powder

Here's some yummy, Chinese dim sum you can make, either plain without 
meat fillings, or with meat fillings. A wok equipped with a stainless 
steel steam plate, a plate with holes to allow steam to pass, is 
required to make these tasty buns. You may use milk in place of the 
warm water if you wish.

Prep: 30 mins
Cook: 30 mins
Additional: 3 hrs
Total: 4 hrs

Mix together yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and 1/4 cup warm 
water. Allow to stand for 30 minutes.

Mix in 1/2 cup warm water, flour, salt, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 
vegetable oil. Knead until dough surface is smooth and elastic. Roll 
over in a greased bowl, and let stand until triple in size, about 2 
1/2 to 3 hours.

Punch down dough, and spread out on a floured board. Sprinkle baking 
powder evenly on surface, and knead for 5 minutes. Divide dough into 
2 parts, and place the piece you are not working with in a covered 
bowl. Divide each half into 12 parts. Shape each part into a ball 
with smooth surface up. Put each ball on a wax paper square. Let 
stand covered until double, about 30 minutes.

Bring water to a boil in wok, and reduce heat to medium; the water 
should still be boiling. Place steam-plate on a small wire rack in 
the middle of the wok. Transfer as many buns on wax paper as will 
comfortably fit onto steam-plate leaving 1 to 2 inches between the 
buns. At least 2 inches space should be left between steam-plate and 
the wok. Cover wok with lid. Steam buns over boiling water for 15 minutes.

REMOVE LID BEFORE you turn off heat, or else water will drip back 
onto bun surface and produce yellowish "blisters" on bun surfaces. 
Continue steaming batches of buns until all are cooked.
