Kawaii Bite-Sized Melonpan | Japanese Cooking Video Recipe

Here is the easy Kawaii (cute) Melonpan recipe that requires no rising.


I received a lot of requests for melonpan, but to tell the truth, I don't like to spend too much time on cooking, so I always try to cut corners. hehe

Btw, you can make this Melonpan as big as you want, or as small as you want. I made it small and cute (Kawaii)♥



---------------------------------

Kawaii Melonpan


Difficulty: Very Easy
Time: 60min
Number of servings: 12 bite-size mini Melonpan

Ingredients:
1 hot dog bun (or any kind of fluffy bun)
40g (1.4oz.) butter (softened)
40g (1.4oz.) granulated sugar
40g (1.4oz.) egg
A
* 100g (3.5oz.) all-purpose flour
* a pinch of baking powder
granulated sugar

Directions:
1. Beat butter and sugar until creamy, add egg little by little and mix well.
2. Sift A in 1. and mix well.
3. Place the cookie dough on the plastic wrap and shape it into a log and wrap. Refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes until firm.
4. Preheat oven to 350F (180C) when you think you are ready.
5. Cut the hot dog bun into 12 pieces. *
6. Cut the cookie dough into 12 pieces and shape them into balls. *
7. One at a time, roll out the cookie dough between two layers of plastic wrap, place the bun in the center and enclose it in the cookie dough.
8. Roll in the granulated sugar and place on a greased cookie sheet about an inch apart. With a scraper or knife, score the cookie dough in a criss-cross pattern.
9. Bake at 350F (180C) for 10 minutes. (Depending on the heat of the oven, cooking time may differ, so please watch out.)

* All you want to do is coat the bread with the cookie topping, so you can make it as big as you want, or as small as you want :D

Zoku Quick Pop Maker

I know it is now September but one thing I found popular this summer was "Zoku Quick Pop Maker"! I saw it in NY and on TV here in Japan. Did you get it?!



I'm not a person who buys a new stuff in a second, so I didn't get it. hehe

Anyways our weather here in Tokyo is still hot like summer at 30C (86F) but yesterday was a day for "otsukimi" (お月見) - we call the day "chushu no meigetsu" (中秋の名月) - the day we enjoy viewing the full moon (harvest moon).

It's autumn already!

I gotta think a video tutorial for Halloween ;D

Yakiniku

Once in a while, we go out to eat Yakiniku (grilled meat).

I love vegetables and well done lean beef and chicken, while most Japanese can eat offal meats. Ew X(



We didn't have the Korean-style Yakiniku, but many Japanese Yakiniku restaurants have Bibimbap on their menu. We love to finish with it. hehe



Why we've been to Yakiniku resutaurant?! You'll know why soon ;D
