Halo-Halo Party, Part 3- Coconut Buns

I'm not gonna lie, these were vile. But worth mentioning for the learning opportunity and an excuse to finally buy a bamboo steamer ( although I will buy another from an Asian grocery, as this John Lewis one was bleached and inauthentic). This is Jamie Oliver, and it hasn't put me off him as he's great, but these were stodgy and doughy, likely the fault of my overcrowding. What you do is mix a can of coconut milk and then fill the can twice with self-raising flour (but plain with a teaspoon of baking powder for me) and mix it to a smooth dough, then steam for 10 minutes (I use a Chinese leaf to line each steamer to stop them sticking) until you have nice little dumpling things. Maybe for another time.
