Super Simple Hotcake Mix Egg Bread
:: Air Fryer Egg Bread Using Hotcake Mix :: Making a Delicious Snack at Home
You can easily make delicious egg bread at home using store-bought hotcake mix! It’s a fantastic snack, as good as the ones you buy outside. With just an air fryer, you can enjoy a wonderful treat that rivals any store-bought version. It’s perfect for kids’ snacks or for a quick bite when hunger strikes!
Basic Ingredients- 1 cup hotcake mix (using a standard paper cup for measurement)
- 4 eggs
- 1/3 cup milk (using a standard paper cup for measurement)
- A little cooking oil (for greasing the inside of the paper cups)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a clean bowl, crack 1 egg and whisk it thoroughly with a fork or whisk until smooth. It’s best to break down the egg whites to achieve a lump-free, smooth consistency.
Step 2
Pour 1/3 cup of milk (measured with a standard paper cup) into the bowl with the whisked egg. You can use water instead of milk, but milk will give you a richer, smoother flavor.
Step 3
Gently mix the egg and milk together with a whisk or fork. Avoid overmixing; just stir until well combined.
Step 4
Now, add 1 cup of hotcake mix (measured with a paper cup) and mix again until smooth. Use a whisk to combine the batter until it’s smooth and free of lumps from the hotcake mix.
Step 5
Prepare 3 paper cups for baking the egg bread. Carefully grease the inside of each paper cup with cooking oil. This step is crucial for easily removing the baked egg bread from the cups later.
Step 6
Fill each greased paper cup with about one-third of the hotcake batter. Be mindful of the amount; filling them too full might cause the batter to overflow when you add the egg and bake.
Step 7
Gently place one egg into each of the paper cups filled with batter. Try not to jostle the batter too much when adding the eggs.
Step 8
Using the tip of a chopstick or fork, gently poke the egg yolk to break it slightly. This prevents the egg from bursting dramatically during baking and allows for a fun, ‘pop’ when you bite into it.
Step 9
Lightly sprinkle a pinch of herb salt over each egg to season it. Herb salt adds a lovely flavor dimension compared to plain salt.
Step 10
Carefully place the paper cups into the air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 160°C (320°F) and bake for about 20 minutes. Keep in mind that cooking times and temperatures may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model, so it’s a good idea to check for doneness halfway through.
Step 11
Once baked, carefully remove the egg bread from the air fryer and gently separate them from the paper cups. Thanks to the greased insides, they should slide out easily. Be cautious as they might still be hot!
Step 12
Your delicious homemade hotcake mix egg bread is ready! Enjoy the wonderful combination of savory hotcake and soft, yielding egg. It’s best enjoyed warm.
