How to Make Perfect Mini Pork Buns in 30 Minutes

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at McGill chapter.

Do you crave a study snack? Something small, salty and warm? Look no further, these mini pork buns will be one of the best and quickest things you can make at home. Rather than making my own dough, I decided to save time and energy by using Pillsbury dough that’s ready to go.

#SpoonTip: I recommend the crescent dough or the weiner wraps for this recipe, but feel free to experiment.

To make these pork buns, all you need is an oven, a pair of hands, some spoons, a bowl and a baking tray.  Check it out below and soon, you’ll want to make these soft chewy treats all the time.
