Place the 150g of sugar in a small heavy-based saucepan and heat gently until sugar melts and caramelizes to golden brown colour.
Take care to keep pan on very low heat to avoid burning the caramel and remove pan from heat once it reaches a golden brown colour.
Pour the hot water into the caramel. And please be extra cautious at this point because the moment you pour the hot water, the caramel and hot water would splutter.
So don't be alarmed if that happens. Boil caramel for a few minutes until completely melted and syrup is obtained. Allow syrup to cool and pour it out into a measuring cup (you need 160 to 170 ml).
Add the melted butter, milk and beaten egg to the cooled caramel syrup and stir well to combined.Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Make a well in the middle and pour in the liquid.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the liquid, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or balloon whisk for a smooth batter.
Fill small lightly buttered cups three-quarters full of batter and steam for 15 to 20 minutes.
