If the autumn wind has a taste, then the first half is osmanthus and the second half is estimated to be chestnut flavor
Last month, I made osmanthus cake, this time I will change to a chestnut cake to eat!
So, I've gathered the flavors of autumn [laughing and crying]
Chestnuts contain protein, fat, dietary fiber, carotene, a variety of amino acids and other nutrients.
In particular, the potassium content is 4 times that of apples, and the content of vitamin C is more than 10 times that of apples, which is known as "woody grain".
Even the Qianlong Emperor was very fond of the function of chestnuts, and he compared the function of chestnuts to famous generals in the poem "Eating Chestnuts":
"Chestnuts accompany the king on private visits, are smart and strong, know the people and judge state affairs, often race through the Tang Emperor, chestnuts benefit the country and the people, and the merits are not inferior to famous generals."
Chestnut cake, originally a traditional snack in Beijing, I changed the recipe today, with horseshoe powder to make, but "Cantonese".
- Ingredient Preparation -
Chestnut kernels 150g horseshoe flour 100g sugar osmanthus flower 20g ice flake sugar 50g water 400g (200g add chestnuts stir into puree, 200g for boiling icing sugar)
Let's take a look at the detailed production steps
1. Put the chestnut kernels into the water and cook (about half an hour), drain the water until cool, pour into the wall breaker, add 200g of water and stir into a puree and pour out the bowl for later
2. Add horseshoe powder to the chestnut puree and stir until there are no particles, then sift it again, add sugar osmanthus flowers and stir well to make chestnut pulp for later
3. Put the icing sugar in the pot, pour in 200g of water, cook the sugar until melted, scoop in a spoonful of chestnut pulp, stir quickly, cook until thick, quickly pour into the remaining chestnut pulp and stir evenly to make chestnut raw and cooked pulp
4. Take a water-free and oil-free high-temperature mold, pour in chestnut raw and cooked pulp, steam in hot water for 25 minutes, take it out and let it cool and defoam and cut it into pieces
Sweet pink chestnuts and horseshoe flour made of pastries, the color is a bit like lotus flour cake.
But as soon as you eat it, you immediately identify it, there is glutinous but not powder;
The stickiness is not strong, but the Q elasticity is very sufficient, and it can be clearly felt when cutting, which is a bit duanang~
The aroma of sugar osmanthus flowers, if there is none in the cake, if you let it cool and eat, the overall sweetness will be more sufficient!
Unlike other pastries that are as soft as other pastries, they are solid pastries, but they do not stuff the stomach.
Two or three pieces at noon, not a problem, breathing is chestnut incense ~
Small main tips:
1. Made of chestnut raw and cooked pulp is to make the taste more uniform, prevent precipitation, and eat more Q bomb
2. If there is no sugar osmanthus flower, you can directly replace it with ice flake sugar
On the first day of construction, there was really no spirit! The holiday of the past few days was really comfortable, there was nothing to do, the home was more lively, and I felt the happiness of the holiday.
However, some friends complained that the current long holiday is all dependent on the transfer of rest, and the life is not as good as the ancients, it is an "illusion long holiday"
I agree with that hahaha.
But how is it that life is not as fat as the ancients?
"People in the Song Dynasty have a hundred days off a year, and they are pure and unrestrained."
I sour, well, I also agree with the idea that "life is not as good as the ancients".
Go check it out, I have a bold idea, there is no cross-plane, I want to go back to the Song Dynasty!
The dynasty that did not take a break, and took a holiday without a word!
Come and come, let's envy the happiness of the Song Dynasty!
The Song Dynasty migrant workers rested once every ten days, and almost took 3 days off a month
It doesn't look very good!
However, people put 7 days on the New Year's Festival (Spring Festival), 7 days for cold food (Qingming Festival), and 7 days on the winter solstice!
Festivals such as Holy Day (Emperor's Birthday), Shangyuan (Lantern Festival), Zhongyuan (July Half), Summer Solstice, and Lapa Day (Lapa Festival) are held for 3 days each!
Do you think that's the end of it! People even have holidays!
Shunsha, Akisha, Kamimi, Shigeno, Shigehige, Risshun, Rissum, Mitsubushi, Risshu, Tanabata, Autumnal equinheal, Giving, Ritsuwyu;
All are on holiday for 1 day.
There are also holidays on major festivals, such as the first emperor and the death of successive emperors!
Count the public servants of the Song Dynasty, who spend one-third of the year on holidays!
By the way, if your parents live three thousand miles away, you can still have 30 days of family leave every three years!
Marriage leave is 9 days, and there are also 1-5 days for close relatives to get married.
However, envy is envy, I am still quite satisfied with the modern holiday time ~ ~
After all, in addition to the Song Dynasty, I saw that in the early Ming Dynasty, there were only 18 days of vacation in the whole year, and later it was increased by 50 days.
Leaving early without gratuitous absence is to spank [cover your face]
The Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are also similar to this urine nature, and we can also be regarded as more than the upper and lower than the lower
