Crispy Snow Buns (from Elite) Recipe

[kerbear04]

My friend absolutely adores the cripsy snow buns at Elite Restaurant and I've been trying to find a recipe for it for some time. However, don't know where to look or even begin.

Does anyone know where I can find a recipe for these? If you know the Chinese name, this may also help!

Thanks.

It sounds intriguing, but I have no idea. Maybe if you described it, it might jog someone's memory?

They're individual fluffy sweet breads filled with an almond paste. I believe they're baked.

Perhaps you're talking about #23 on their dim sum menu... 杏汁雪山飽 (literally something like "Apricot juice Snow Mountain bun")?

No, it's number 30. "Crispy Snow Bun".

I totally had to google this, and I think will47 is talking about the correct dish, though the spelling seems to vary. 杏汁雪山包

Do they look like this: http://static2.openrice.com.hk/UserPhoto/photo/1/1C0/009HGU5F392F74BD8AE00Am.jpg

I had to google it too and I think it's the same as yours. This is what I got:

That's them....so what's the recipe?
Is "snow bun" the English name for them?
Because I notice at Elite's neighbor NBC Seafood they also call it a snow bun.

Yes, they look like this!
