{{ ::ukijima.jpeg?400 |}} ===Recipes=== * 160 gr 白あん * 3 egg yolks * 20 gr 上新粉 * 20 gr normal flour * 1 gr of baking powder * 3 egg whites * 40 gr sugar * 40 gr [[candy|甘納豆]] (candied beans) * Can be coloured with 抹茶 (but it will not take on its flavour). See [[colour]]s. * Mix 白あん, yolks; then add sifted flours. Beat whites with sugar, fold; then layer in mould, adding the beans. Steam for 15' on medium heat with the cloth-wrapped lid half open, then 15' with the lid closed. * In my bamboo basket it gets a bit tight, so this one is better to do in the Creuset. * After steaming, take out of the 流し器, cover with cool, wet cloth to chill down. ===Variations=== * I'm thinking of doing one without egg yolks for the top layer so it's completely white and I then can call 雪島.
