"Snowy Mantao" refers to a type of Chinese steamed bun that is soft, fluffy, and often described as having a "snowy" or "snowflake-like" appearance due to its delicate texture and fine, smooth surface. The "snowy" part comes from the appearance of the bun's light and airy exterior, which is often dusted with a light coating of flour or made with special techniques to make it look almost snowy in texture.
These buns are typically made with high-quality flour, yeast, and sometimes a bit of sugar for sweetness. The dough is carefully kneaded, fermented, and then steamed, which gives the mantao its soft, pillowy texture.
