Cornmeal steamed cake

Cornmeal steamed cake

Overview

Cornmeal steamed cakes are a staple food that I often ate when I was a child. Although my material life has become richer now, I still miss the taste of my childhood, so I make steamed cakes from time to time. Because cornmeal alone has a rough texture, I add half of the white flour, so the effect is much better. Every time I change the pattern and add some auxiliary ingredients, the taste becomes even better. I used Joyoung's fully automatic pastry machine to make this cornmeal cake, which is more trouble-free and convenient. I used to worry about making such high-quality cakes, but this time I made it effortlessly!
