Mix into a dough, adding a little extra water if needed.<\/li>\n<li>Tip the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 10-15 mins, or until smooth. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth and leave to rise for 2 hrs, or until doubled in size.<\/li>\n<li>Tip the dough out onto a clean work surface and punch it down. Flatten the dough with your hands, then sprinkle over 1 tsp baking powder and knead for 5 mins.<\/li>\n<li>Roll out the dough into a long sausage shape, about 3cm thick, then cut into pieces that are about 3cm wide \u2013 you should have 18.<\/li>\n<li>In the palm of your hand, roll each piece of dough into a ball and leave to rest for 2-3 mins.<\/li>\n<li>Use a rolling pin to roll out each ball, one by one, into an oval shape about 3-4mm thick. Rub the surface of the dough ovals with oil and brush a little oil over a chopstick.<\/li>\n<li>Place the oiled chopstick in the centre of each oval. Fold the dough over the chopstick, then slowly pull out the chopstick.<\/li>\n<li>Put all the buns on a silicone sheet in a baking tray. (definitely better than anything else non-sticky).\u00a0 Cover with a clean tea towel or lightly oiled cling film and leave to prove in a warm place for 1 hr 30 mins, or until doubled in size.<\/li>\n<li>Heat a large steamer over medium-high heat. Steam the buns for 8 mins until puffed up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Once cooked :<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prise open each bun and fill with cooked duck in an Asian sauce with a few spirals of carotte and spring onions.
