Cotton Ball Cakes

(pic : cookacooking)

Ingredients :

2 duck eggs
1 cup palm sugar
1 and half cups cake flour
3 tbsp water
1 tbsp lime juice
2 drops jasmine water or 1 tsp vanilla extract



How To Make :

1. Beat the eggs, adding the sugar a little at a time, until the mixture no longer drops from the beater when raised.

2. Fold in the flour 2 tbsp at a time, moving the spoon gently up from the bottom of the bowl to the top. When the first portion of flour is blended, add a little of the water mixed with the lime juice and the vanilla or jasmine water. Continue in this way alternating between additions of flour and liquid until all the flour and liquid have been exhausted. The last adding should be flour and all ingredients should be blended in well.

3. Spoon the batter into paper cake cups held in small porcelain sweets cups. Fill each paper cup with batter. Arrange the porcelain cups in the steamer tray. Do not cover the holes in the steamer tray. The cups should be placed so that steam rises all around them and the tops of the cakes have a pleasing appearance.

4. Fill the bottom of the steamer three-quarters full of water and heat to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat to a slow boil, put the trays on the steamer, fit the lid lightly, and steam for about 15 minutes until the cakes are done.

Note : If all-purpose flour is used, add another tablespoon of water.
