今日は休みです。ミニオンのデコ蒸しパンを作りました。とてもたのしかったですよ〜〜HMを使ったから、レツピは簡単ですよ。皆さん、作ってみてくださいよ。
Hope you are having a banana-rrific weekend!! :P Since today is a rest day, I decided to make deco steam cakes again! Again~~~~ the current hotest character! MINIONS~ hahh
 
My friend said that her colleagues will go bananas over this minion steamed cakes! Hope you like them, I had so much fun making them. 
 
I refined the deco steamed cakes as I found that my earlier recipe was not as good (giving inconsistent results). 
 
Enjoy and try making some minion deco steamed cakes too! This is great for parties or even packed into a snack bento!

(1) Hotcake mix, yogurt, baking powder, sugar, salad oil, egg, vanilla essence – Mix well to form the dough
(2) Scoop 2tsp of the dough mixture and add 1 tsp of plain flour and blue food coloring
(3) Scoop 2tsp of the dough mixture and add 1 tsp of plain flour and dark brown food coloring

    Hi Shirley, I copy your idea and recipe and made my own minion steam cake (posted and link back to you),though mine was not as nice as yours. Hope you don’t mind if I ask few question here : 1) do you place the paper cup on other aluminium/ stainless or ramekin when steam the cake? I place my cup on square baking tray and they become a bit wet and soggy at the bottom. 2) I understand that you develop the recipe from your own, just wonder if you have Junko’s steam cake book,I have the chinese version and mum help me to translate but I did not able to get the right result and the batter was way too thick, do you think it was due to the flour as well that need to use pancake mix? If you don’t have the book then just ignore this. Thanks a ton in advance :D

      Hi dear! I am soooo sorry, I just realised that I missed out sugar when I was typing out the recipe. Please see the revised recipe.

      If you have the aluminium cups, better to put, but the trick is to use low heat to steam.

      Also ensure that the pot cover is wrapped with cloth, so that it prevents water from dripping on the cakes and the steaming rakes. I hope this helps!

      I also have the Junko book. Her recipe did not work well for me as well. Thats why I developed my own. For me, when I use Junko book, the top part always splits open, the whole picture is gone. From my understanding, Junko recipes also uses hotcake mix.

      Hello, thanks for sharing so much, I will try making this again, and this time with sugar ;)

      Noted on the answer about Junko’s recipe. Thanks for being such a great help.

    Hello, since I don’t have hot cake mix, could you pls teach me how could I replace it by another flour? Thanks so much.

      Hi Kha Lam, perhaps you can try the other pre-mix hotcake or pancake mix brand. Unfortanately, I developed this recipe using Hotcake mix, have not tried working out the normal flour version.

    Hi! In your Japanese ingredients you state 100g of yogurt but in your English translation of the ingredients, no yogurt… so add yogurt? Thanks!

    Everyone seems to be crazy about Minions in Singapore (I just visited Karen’s blog before and she also made Minions-themed bento ;)) or it’s just me who’s ill-informed about the newest kiddy trend/characters nowadays ;)?

      Hhehehh yes it is like the latest popular character, it is from the animation film – Despicable Me. You got to go Youtube and check out the clips! You are warned – Minions are incredibly cute! :P

      生地を小さじ2、小さじ1それぞれ取り分ける。
      に小麦粉を小さじ1と食色(青)を加えて混ぜ、コルネに入れる
      ジャンパーを描く。

      繰り返し。生地を小さじ2、小さじ1それぞれ取り分ける。
      に小麦粉を小さじ1と食色(濃褐色)を加えて混ぜ、コルネに入れる
