Ingredients

• Gluten-free all-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• Sugar - 30 grams
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Milk (or dairy-free alternative) - 120 ml
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. Add milk and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes elastic.
4. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
5. After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal pieces.
6. Flatten each piece into a small circle and place about 25 grams of red bean paste in the center.
7. Carefully gather the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch to seal.
8. Shape each filled bun into a smooth ball and place on a parchment paper square.
9. Prepare a steamer by boiling water in a pot. Place the buns in the steamer basket, making sure they are not touching each other.
