Steps

1. Melt 100g butter using a double boiler or microwave to create melted butter.
   🕒 01:05
2. In a bowl, sift together 100g all-purpose flour and 75g granulated sugar. This is the key to a smooth batter with a fine texture.
   🕒 01:23
3. Crack and lightly beat 2 eggs, then strain them through a sieve.
   🕒 02:00
4. Add the strained eggs to the bowl and mix well with the flour mixture until smooth.
   🕒 02:18
5. Gradually add the melted butter to the bowl in three batches, mixing thoroughly each time.
   🕒 02:49
6. Finally, add 1 tsp baking powder and gently mix everything together. The batter is now complete.
   🕒 04:02
7. Prepare individual baking cups (or a steamer lined with parchment paper).
   🕒 04:54
8. Fill the baking cups or steamer with the batter, filling them to about 60-70% of their capacity. This is enough for approximately 10-12 baking cups.
   🕒 06:01
9. Place the batter in a preheated steamer with strong steam and steam over high heat for about 10 minutes. For larger molds, steam for approximately 13 to 15 minutes. The key to knowing it's done is to insert a skewer; if no batter sticks to it, it's ready.
