- Brush generously with melted butter and sprinkle with cilantro.
- Fold in the edges of the round so they meet in the center and roll into a smooth bun.
- Place the buns on a buttered baking sheet, brush lightly with melted butter, and let them rise, covered, for about 20 minutes.
- In steamer set over simmering water, steam as many buns as will fit without touching, partially covered, until cooked through, about 20 minutes.
