I made this for my husband who loves steamed buns so much that he's made them himself.Since this recipe doesn't use sugar, it's sweeter and tastier if you add plenty of chocolate chips!!Add 10 g of sugar if you are not adding chocolate chips.I was able to make 7 buns using a size 9 aluminum foil cup.

I always have pancake mix in stock, but we were bored with pancakes and it's a bother to have to cook a lot of pancakes every time. The batter can just be poured in cups and cooked all at once, so it's easy.Make sure not to add too much water to the frying pan. If water gets into the aluminium cups, the bread will become soggy. Be careful of condensation falling on the bread when you open the lid too! Recipe by Wnaow

Ever since I made steamed buns, I've been so addicted to them -.Now I'm trying out different variations.Steam for 10 minutes if you're using paper cups, and 13 if using pudding lining.The cups have some height so make sure the buns don't touch the lid.Cover the lid of the steamer with cloth to stop the condensed water from dripping onto the buns..Make sure to drain the cooked black beans. (It will turn the buns black). For 6 small buns. Recipe by baro mama n

I had some pancake mix left over and tried various things to be able to make cakes with only small amounts.When plain it tastes like a simple sponge. It is also good when you add chocolate or raisins. When wrapping the container, make sure there is some space at the top. If you wrap it too tightly, the container will deform because of the heat.

When I make "Manjyu (Japanese traditional sweet)", I prefer a dough from rice flour and Yam potato to one from plain flour. It's softer and moister. But these ingredients aren't popular out of Japan. It's also little difficult to wrap a bean jam ball with the dough from plain flour (It's better to make it thin because it not so soft or moist). So, I try to think something different. Putting a bean jam ball between 2 small pancakes in stead of wrapping, it is much easier! And I try to use yoghurt and honey to make plain flour buns softer and moister without any oil, butter, eggs....

I made my favorite brown sugar steamed bread using pancake mix.Adjust the amount of the brown sugar to your liking.The steaming time will alter depending on the size of the cupcake mold and amount of batter.

I made these with just cocoa powder, but I wanted more impact so I added black cocoa as well.Generally, you check to see if things are done by sticking in a toothpick, but the melted chocolate will stick to the toothpick even when they're baked, so check by looking at the dough or the chocolate.The amount of water needed may different depending on the pancake mix you sue. So adjust the amount of the milk accordingly. Recipe by Bu-nyanm
