Recommended recipe: cornmeal pot stickers steamed buns
Ingredient list: 200 grams of cornmeal, 200 grams of high-gluten flour (white flour), 2 eggs, 4 grams of yeast powder, appropriate amount of water, a small amount of dry flour (used to prevent sticking during operation), appropriate amount of cooking oil
Steps:
Step 1: Blanch the cornmeal
Put 200 grams of cornmeal into a large bowl, slowly pour in 250 grams of boiling water, and quickly stir with chopsticks to make the cornmeal fully absorb water and blanch.
Step 2: Add the eggs and white flour
Once the blanched cornmeal has cooled down slightly, crack in two eggs, add 200g of cake flour, and stir as you add until the flour and cornmeal are well combined. Add another 4 grams of yeast powder, continue to stir well, and knead into a slightly softer dough so that it is soft and delicious.
Step 3: Initial fermentation of the dough
Place the dough in a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and place in a warm place to rise until it doubles in size. This usually takes about 30~40 minutes, and the specific time is adjusted according to the ambient temperature.
Step 4: Vent the dough
When the time is up, I see that the dough is full of small honeycomb pores, which means that the fermentation is ready. Take out the dough, sprinkle with an appropriate amount of dry flour to prevent sticking, and then divide it into equal portions of small dough.
Step 5: Dough is formed
Take a dough mixture, knead it into a circle, and then knead it into long strips, slightly thicker in the middle and slightly thinner at the ends, similar to the shape of traditional wheat steamed buns. After all the dough is shaped, cover it with a layer of plastic wrap and let the raw embryo rise for 10 minutes.
Step 6: Cooking
After the raw embryo becomes obviously fat and lighter, preheat the electric baking pan, apply a small amount of cooking oil, put the raw embryo in, intervals between them, and fry until the bottom is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 7: Add water and simmer
Then pour a small amount of flour water along the edge of the pot to the depth of the water below one-third of the raw embryo. Cover and simmer for 8-9 minutes until the moisture is almost dry, finally open the lid, adjust to crispy setting, and fry for another 1 minute to make the bottom more crispy.
Step 8: Finish serving
The bottom of the fried cornmeal steamed bun is crispy, golden and delicious, and it is very soft and sweet when you break it open, and you are full of appetite. Due to the high-fiber nature of cornmeal, it is very easy to digest and is suitable for both the elderly and children.
