Apam Dot-Dot (Steamed Polka-Dot Muffins)

(Also showing off my Delf Bleu tray that I bought from Holand... hehe I love it)

  A relative invited us for dinner just a couple of hours before it started. I wanted to bring something for them and decided to make this cute apams after reading Rima's story in similar situation. I was using my Trio steamer and hence my steamed muffins did not blossom like hers. Since I also had Apam Dot-Dot in my to-do-list, I decided to decorate the muffins accordingly.

I am glad that everyone at the relative's house enjoyed this & one piece is definitely not enough...

Makes 90 pcs
INGREDIENTS:

3 Cold Egg
250g Sugar (HomeKreation: reduced to 200g)
10oz Softasilk/Superfine/Hong Kong Flour

2½ tsp Baking Powder

1 tbsp Ovalette
160g Coconut Cream

1 tsp Pandan Paste

FILLING (by HomeKreation):

100g Grated Coconut

3 tbsp Palm Sugar

2 tbsp Sugar

3 tbsp Water

1 tsp Cornflour

- Stir all in a small pot until well mixed. Cool before used.

METHOD:

1. Beat all the ingredients together, with high speed, until thick and fluffy.
2. Pipe batter into paper cup, half full.

Top up with ½ tsp coconut filling and cover with batter until almost full.
3. Steam for 15 mins with medium fire (big fire will cause it to blossom & spoil the dots).

UPDATE - To answer question on how to make the dots:
To make dots, mix some batter with different color & fill into a piping bag.
Cut just a small hole at end of the piping bag &  dot it on the base batter.
Tip: to ensure the dot is a nice circle shape, pipe it in a circle instead of on one spot.
