I really wanted to eat a chewy steamed bread so I tried it at first with shiratamako. That didn't go too well, since shiratamako is supposed to be used for dango dumpling-like recipes, so I tried with mochiko instead and it worked!

Pancake mix is quite sweet but mochiko isn't, so it's better to use more sugar here than in a 100% pancake mix recipe.
This bread has a very light flavour so it's most delicious when served with a sweet spread like jam. For 6-10 servings. Recipe by Pukuttopukumaru

Steps

1

Mix together the egg, vegetable oil, milk and sugar well.
2

Add the pancake mix and mochiko to the bowl and fold in with a spatula.
3

[Steaming in a Steamer] Line the inside of a steamer container with glassine paper cups. Pour the batter into cups.
4

Once there is steam coming out of the steamer, add the cups and steam for 15-20 minutes (this takes a bit longer than the frying pan way).
5

[Steaming in a frying pan] Pour the batter into the cups and line them up inside a large, flat frying pan.
6

Add 1 cm boiling water, cover the pan with a lid and steam for 12-14 minutes.
7

Once the bread has risen, they're done.
8

(Variation) I've made lots of variations of the original "Steamed Bread with Pancake Mix"with bananas, cocoa powder, raisins etc.
9

For each recipe, replace the 200 g pancake mix with 100 g pancake mix + 70 g mochiko.
10

Note: Shiratamako is extremely fine, but clumps easily, so it's not ideal for steamed bread.
11

Note: Using mochiko doesn't rise well, so add baking powder. The top photo omits the baking powder.
