HM is a common term in most Japanese cooking recipes websites, which stands for Hotcake Mix.
I was so tempted to make cupcakes using HM after watching many videos from youtube and recipes from CookPad (
http://cookpad.com/category/1293)!
So I went to nearest supermarket and grabbed a packet of HotCake Mix powder (800g), 1 litre of low fat milk, a packet of eggs and also strawberry jam.
These are all 1071yen!
For today, i used 200g of hotcake mix, 150ml of milk, 2 eggs and some strawberry jam, so the ingredient for today cost me about 200yen!
Also bought this mould for making waffle using microwave oven( 440yen)!
This is how the waffle mould looks like.
I used 2 eggs....hmm...maybe 1 eggs is enough.
Mix 200g of HM, 2 eggs and 150ml well......tada....my batter is done within 5 minutes!
First attempt
put the batter into the mould, heat it with microwave for 1 minute and 20second ( my microwave is 730W)
Opps....first attempt was failed.
It expanded so well....lol...
So i guess, is because of the air inside the batter...or do not use 2 eggs at once....hmm not sure.....
Cupcake first attempt ( mix with strawberry jam)
Too much air inside....it expanded to much!
2nd attempt....nicer! less airy!
After few attempts...
Getting nicer and nicer....taste like steamed cake! healthier choice!
Huhu!
So, what did I made with 200yen ingredients?
4 pieces of waffle
11 cupcakes ( left 10 in the picture, coz 1 has been eaten by me...hehe)
15 items for only 200yen!
So, average around 13.33yen each!
Wow....what a cheap food! Hehe!
This will be my breakfast and tea-time for at least 2~3 days....hopefully!!
As conclusion or my personal opinoin,
after mixing the batter, leave it for awhile until it become sticky, make sure that it is not full with bubble....huhu
The taste would be nicer by adding butter inside.
Next planning....
pumpkin cake and sweet potato cake....hehehe!!!
Mixed fruit cake would be nice too, i guess!!
