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...

(Recipe retyped for ease of reference)
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.

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION
Senang jer nak buat apam comel ni kecuali part nak buat dot-dot tu kena slow2 & sabar2.... hehe. Comel sangat, boleh masuk mulut seketul gus.

Source (adapted from Steamed Coconut Blossoms): Rima
(Resipi di alih bahasa oleh HomeKreation)
Bilangan 90 ketul
BAHAN2:
3 bj Telur Sejuk
250g Gula (HomeKreation: Along guna cuma 200g)
10oz Tepung Softasilk/Superfine/Hong Kong
2½ st Baking Powder
1 sb Ovalette
160g Santan Pekat
1 st Pandan Pes

INTI (by HomeKreation):
100g Kelapa Parut
3 sb Gula Merah
2 sb Gula
3 sb Air
1 st Tpg Jagung
- Kacau semua dlm periuk sehingga sebati. Sejukkan sebelum di gunakan.

BAHAN2:
1. Pukul kesemua bahan2 sekali gus, dgn kuasa tinggi, sehingga pekat & kembang.
2. Paipkan adunan separuh penuh ke dlm kertas muffin.
Letakkan di tengah2 nya ½ st inti kelapa.
Tutup dgn adunan sehingga hampir penuh.
3. Kukus 15 mins dgn api sederhan (Jangan guna api besar takut apam merekah).

UNTUK MENJAWAB PERTANYAAN - CARA2 BUAT DOT:
Untuk buat dot, ambil satu bahagian dan warnakan dgn warna pilihan.
Masukkan ke dlm bag paiping & potong lubang kecil di hujung nya.
Buat lah bentuk dot di atas apam2 tadi.
Tip: Untuk mendapatkan dot yg cantik bulat, buat dot dgn gerakan circle & jgn picit setempat ... (harap2 paham... maaf takda video)

    ina,

    salam, kak roz,cantik dan mengebu apam dot dot akak.ina dah try 2 kali...malangnyer kecewa...apam mengecut dan turun.adakah sbb ina guna acuan lompang yg warna merah tu. minta bantuan kak roz.please help kak....

    Aini,
    Untuk dapatkan apam yg gebu & ringan, pukul sehingga betul2 kembang & pekat (ribbon trail).

    Ina,
    Wsalam. Along tak pasti kenapa apam yg Ina buat tu mengecut. Ini kemungkinan sebab2:
    - Adunan tak di pukul sehingga betul2 gebu & pekat (adunan patut nya jatuh berlipat2 apabila di angkat). Guna kuasa tinggi supaya adunan cepat kembang.
    - Air kukusan tidak betul2 menggelegak sebelum di masukkan kuih
    - Air kukusan menitis ke dlm adunan sebelum sempat masak (bungkus tudung utk mengelakkan masalah ni jika menggunakan periuk kukus biasa)
    Ramai yg buat apam ni guna acuan lompang tu & takda masalah.
    Along harap jawapan ni dapat membantu.

    Salam,

    ina,

    terima kasih banyak2 atas bantuan kak roz...insyallah ina akan cuba buat lagi.mungkin ina tak balut tutup kukusan tu tak berapa kemas dan adunan belum betul2 kembang dan menggunakan speed yg laju.anak2 dan hubby mmg suka apam nie

    Ina,
    Wsalam. Alaaa... kesian nya dengar... tak tau camna lagi nak tolong ni, kalau dekat boleh lah kita buat sama2. Tak patut lak apam yg dah masak boleh turun mengecut lak... agak nya tak cukup masak ke... (api slow sangat? tak cukup masa? saiz periuk & bilangan apam tak seimbang? Ada lapik dgn kertas cupcake atau terus dlm cwn plasik?.... isyk macam2 lak yg Along dok pikir...). Cuba Ina bandingkan resipi kat atas & tip2 yg Along kasi dan pikir apa yg Ina tak ikut?

    Wila,
    Wsalam. Memang normal kalau api dia padam sekali sekala supaya tak over-heated, barangan elektrik spt seterika pun macam tu juga, ada heat detector & automatik off bila over-heated tapi kendian automatik on semula.

    Hi Roz, I tried this recipe of yours but mine was a big failure. The top has many holes unlike yours so smooth. My apam dot dot didn't raise like yours so rounded, mine was very flat. Moreover, the bottom is like 'rubbery kueh' texture and my batter is quite watery. Can you please advise what went wrong? Thanks. Regards, Melody.

      Hi Melody,
      I'm not sure I know the answer but sounds like not enough flour... make sure you measure accurately following the recipe. Holes probably due to baking powder not sifted and not evenly mixed. Also make sure you do not overmix the flour which will eliminate the airy texture. Make sure steamer's water already rapidly boiled before placing the kuih and avoid water from dripping on it.
