? Friends, we usually get tired of millet porridge, so we can make pastries in a different way. Today we can try to make soft and delicious pumpkin millet cakes, which not only strengthens the spleen and stomach, but also supplements zinc and iron.

A very popular nutritious pastry suitable for people aged 9 months and above, as well as for older children. So how can it be made easier?

Let’s follow the editor to do it together.

? First of all, we need to prepare some materials in advance: millet, pumpkin, formula milk (added when making for older babies), red dates, flour, baking powder, mixer, steaming bowl, oil brush, plastic wrap, mold decoration bag.

?The first step: We need to soak the millet in warm water for two hours in advance, peel and cut the pumpkin into pieces, steam it in a pot and set aside. The red dates also need to be steamed in advance, peel and chop it and set aside.

Step 2: Put the flour, mixer, steaming bowl, plastic wrap, piping bag, etc. aside for later use.

Step 3: Put millet and pumpkin (formula milk) together in a blender and beat until pureed.

Then pour it into a bowl, add an appropriate amount of flour and an appropriate amount of baking powder to the batter (add 1 gram of baking powder to 70 grams of flour, and so on), and stir together evenly.

Next, we cover it with plastic wrap and let the batter ferment for 1 hour. The water temperature in the pot is about 30 degrees, and it ferments until it doubles in size without turning on the fire.

The fermented batter has small bubbles.

At this time, we need to stir the batter with chopsticks, deflate the air, add chopped red dates into the batter, and then put it into a piping bag.

Step 4: At this time, brush a thin layer of oil on the steaming bowl to make the steamed cake easy to take out without sticking to the bowl.

Then slowly squeeze the batter into the steaming bowl, then cover it with plastic wrap, steam it in the pot, and start counting for 20 minutes after the water boils, then turn off the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

?Finally: After steaming, just remove the steamed cake from the mold and it is ready to eat. The simple, delicious and nutritious millet and pumpkin steamed cake is ready.

If it is for babies, (you can cut the steamed cake into strips to make it easier for the baby to grasp, and it can also train the baby's grasping ability).
