Steamed cupcakes

I was searching for cupcakes recipe online one day and came across this quick & easy recipe (and many others). All the cupcakes posted by bakers were so pretty!! If you don't believe, just google images on "steamed cute cupcakes and you'll find many pretty pictures :)

Recipe adapted from Peng's Kitchen
* makes about 5-6 small cupcakes

Ingredients:
  • 100gm pancake mix (Morinaga Brand)
  • 1 egg
  • 30gm sugar (I reduced to 20gm)
  • 30gm plain yoghurt
  • 30ml fresh milk
  • 15gm unsalted butter, melted

Method
  1. Whisk egg and sugar together.
  2. Add in yoghurt and milk and mix till well blended.
  3. Sift in pancake mix powder and fold till well blended.
  4. Stir in melted butter.
  5. Spoon the batter into cupcake liners.
  6. Steam the cupcake for 12 mins. 
Notes:
Tap the cups lightly on the surface several times to remove any air bubbles. 
- I doubled the recipe and made 12 cupcakes

Here's the result of my 1st attempt. Tried to draw spiderweb on the cupcakes but I failed horribly, :p wasn't as easy as I thought hee.. It turned out to look like HUAT KUEH!! Lol! Nevertheless, it was yummy except that its a tad too sweet for me but my boys said they tasted just right. Oh well, kids just love sweet stuff, don't they?








After the 1st round of Huat Kueh, I decided to try again. This time, I doubled the recipe and reduced the sugar and steamed at medium heat. It turned out perfect and the cakes didn't HUAT like the last time :)
