Fluffy Steamed Egg Bread

[Sweets Made with Pancake Mix!] Fluffy Steamed Egg Bread: Easy Dessert Recipe

Let me introduce fluffy, delicious steamed egg cupcakes.

In a bowl, mix together eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, and milk.

Next, add pancake mix and stir well to avoid lumps.

Then pour the batter evenly into silicone cups.

Since the batter will rise, fill them to about 70%.

Line a frying pan with three layers of thick cooking paper, arrange the cups, and pour water into the pan.

Once it boils, cover with a lid and steam.

They’ll be ready in about 20 minutes.

They’re so soft that anyone can enjoy them.

Tarte Tatin

Easy French pastry on a griddle: a simple Tarte Tatin recipe ✨

Speaking of tarte Tatin, it’s a dish that whets your appetite with the toasty aroma of apples.

Some people might think it seems difficult to make.

The version introduced here is very easy to prepare on a hot plate.

Apple peels and cores are packed with nutrients, so just trim off the hard parts and use the rest.

Dice the apples into bite-size cubes, put them in a heatproof container, and microwave them.

Make caramel by heating sugar and water in aluminum cups, then add the apples.

Pour in the batter made with flour and butter, and steam-fry for about 2 minutes on each side.

It’s a recipe whose aroma alone could make you happy!

Baked churros

[No-Fry, Easy] How to Make Churros Without Frying Using Pancake Mix

Let’s try making theme park–favorite churros as a snack activity at a senior care facility! This recipe doesn’t require deep-frying, which lowers the hurdle for preparation.

Put milk and oil in a pot and heat over medium.

Once it comes to a boil, turn off the heat and add pancake mix, stirring to combine.

Be careful not to burn yourself.

Beat eggs in a bowl, then add them to the dough you just made in two additions.

At first the dough won’t come together easily, but if you use a spatula to cut through it finely and then repeatedly press the dough against the bowl and fold it over, it will come together more smoothly.

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip, pipe onto parchment paper, and bake in the oven.

The toasty aroma makes this a mouthwatering treat!

Warabi Mochi in Anmitsu Style

Oyachube! “Anmitsu-style Warabi Mochi”

Warabi-mochi has a jiggly, gelatinous texture in your mouth.

It’s often dusted with kinako (roasted soybean flour), but topping it with matcha or drizzling it with kuromitsu (brown sugar syrup) is also delicious.

Warabi-mochi is made with warabi starch, though using warabi starch can sometimes result in a slightly firmer texture.

Try some tweaks, like using a store-bought kit that yields softer warabi-mochi, or making a soft version with potato starch (katakuriko).

You can also turn it into an anmitsu-style dessert by adding sweet red bean paste and fruit, then drizzling kuromitsu on top.

It transforms warabi-mochi into a more festive Japanese sweet than usual, and it’s likely to be enjoyed by older adults as well.
