Xiao Mantou




Guess what these are?


Hand made "wang wang xiao mantou"! Every single one of them :)


Eversince the plasticiser saga, we have banned all Taiwanese products in our household. E is a big fan of such little treats and I had to figure out a way to satisfy him. If I wont buy them, I will bake them!


They were very well received indeed. Even I like the texture and taste. It is 95% close to the store bought product. Guaranteed healthy with no added chemicals as I only use organic flour and low cholesterol eggs, and sugar of course.

    Hi Alice,

    I am just one health freak, for the sake of the kids, I suppose. I dont have "junks" at home....The only snacks allowed are : chocolates, plain crackers, cheese, yogurt, seaweed, low sugar cereal.

    Poor kids heh

    Cheers
