To make flower buns, you need to select fine wheat and process it into flour. With your dexterous hands and rich imagination, you can make the dough into figures, animals, flowers and birds, fish and insects, etc., steam it in the steamer for dozens of minutes, and then paint it with edible colors to finalize the shape when it comes out of the steamer. There are several key points to pay attention to during the production process: First, the dough must be moderately soft and hard so that it can maintain its original shape during the steaming process and be plump and not deformed when it comes out of the steamer; second, the ratio of flour and alkali must be kneaded evenly so that it can be steamed without distortion; third, the heat of the steaming process is very important. Once the heat is not enough, the scale of the kneaded shape will be uneven, which will directly affect the shape of the flower bun. Therefore, each process has both traditional skills and technical requirements. 4. Flower buns are mostly colored with contrasting red, green, yellow, blue and other colors, and are embellished with beans and grains. Whether they are people or animals, they are all naive, clumsy and childish, with both static and dynamic elements, which complement each other. 5.
