For an enriched flavor, try using melted butter instead of vegetable oil. The dough can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator after the first rise. This allows the flavors to develop further. Experiment with different fillings such as lotus seed paste, custard, or even a savory meat mixture.
