Dual Coloured Steamed Paus

For this Dual Coloured Steamed Paus, I used half portion of the skin dough from my Steamed Pandan Paus  [recipe here] and half portion skin dough from my Steamed Custard Paus [recipe here] to make them.  From this portion I made 16 green/yellow coloured paus.  Nice colours with coffee flavour custard filling.

Dough Recipe - please see posting on Steamed Pandan Paus and Steamed Custard Paus.    Below are some photos on the steps to make these paus.
