Steamed Buns with Curd Cheese & Strawberry Jam
These steamed buns are soft and fluffy. I make them with spelt flour, curd cheese, and low-sugar strawberry jam for the filling. Stevia and coconut sugar add sweetness without making them heavy. A bit of cocoa and butter on top makes them feel special, but still light.
