Cute Egg Cake (Ji Dan Gao)


By Cooking and Capturing (Visit website)



When I was taking my master in NTNU, our class field trip went to one of the famous night market in Tainan, Taiwan. My classmates and I enjoyed eating Ji Dan Gao (???), literally "egg cake". Actually, it's only a sponge cake or pancake with different shapes and characters in a cast iron. I bought my flower moulder, that's the only one available. I thought of buying the circle moulder, if ever I want to make "takoyaki" (Japanese Octopus Balls).

I didn't make the batter myself, I used my left over ready made pancake mix. I would just like to find out if I could use the moulder. Well, it's difficult at first! Next time, I'll use the Taiwanese Recipe using Ji Dan Gao. Here, sharing with you what I did!

Ingredients:
250 g pancake mix         
1 egg
2 tablespoon oil
3/4 cup water

In a bowl, beat the egg slightly; add in oil, water, and pancake mix. Slightly stir until lumpy (do not over mix).
Heat the moulder, brush some oil so the batter will not stick to it.

Pour the batter into the mould about hall full. When bubbles seen on top of the batter, dig it out carefully and turn the cake upside down to cook the other side. When the cake is brown, remove immediately to avoid burning.

Here's the result, it's difficult in the beginning but at the end I did it!
You can roll the cake in powder sugar or put some syrup.
