Steamed Cornbread/Cakes

Lolliie's Note:

Yep, another healthy & natural made up recipe of mine - actually, this was the kind of bread my mom used to eat when she was little, so it's technically not 'made up' but I've just changed the ingredients a bit to make it healthier.

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 8

Yield: 8.0 pieces

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 20 g unprocessed wheat bran
• 2 cups cornflour
• 1 cup water

Directions:

1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
2. Add half of the water and continue mixing.
3. Gradually add the remaining half until the ingredients forms a slightly sticky dough(NOTE: since corn flour doesn't have gluten, the dough is not as well formed compared to using 100% wheat, so you can expect it to not stick together and will see separate pieces).
4. Shape the dough into 8 individual balls and flatten them out into round patties approximately 1-2 cms thick.
5. Put them in a steamer and steam for 10 minutes on high heat.
6. Reduce the heat to medium when you can see the steam coming out, and continue steaming for another 10 minutes.
7. Remove immediately from steamer after they're done since they tend to be sticky at the bottom.
