My hubby must have endured about a year of my rock buns till he got to eat something decent. And that was only after I decided to enrol myself on a short bread making course run by the council. Then my sister gave me her recipe which involves using tongzhong, which is basically mixing a bit of flour and water to make a paste before chucking it in with the rest of the ingredients. Works like wonder now.

Hopefully I can make a trip back home sometime next year, must catch up then!
