Ingredients
1canrefrigerated large buttermilk biscuits, 8 count (I use Trader Joes)
water for steaming
Instructions
Line the basket of a steamer with wax paper.
Pop open can of biscuits and flatten each biscuit into approx. 3 1/2" rounds. Fold each round in half (like a mini taco) and pinch edges together to seal.
Place buns in steamer with an inch or two of space in between each bun.
Set steamer in a large wok or very large pan.
Fill wok or pan with as much water as possible, without the water touching bottom of the steamer. There should be about 3/4 - 1" of space between pan and steamer to ensure the boiling water doesn't reach the buns.
Cover steamer tightly. Bring water to a boil. Reduce to a medium-low boil and let steam about 20-25 minutes.
Turn heat off and let buns rest 5 minutes before removing cover.
