Outside the Lantern Festival, gongs, drums and firecrackers sound, in addition to tangyuan, there are other delicacies that everyone often ignores. The white and gentle muffins in Jiangsu and Zhejiang symbolize the step-by-step ascension, auspicious and auspicious, and children rush to eat.
I guess a lot of people don't know how easy it is to make muffins at home.
Many people always yearn for the beautiful scene of making cakes at home, but ignore the fact that the "cake" handed down by our ancestors is not only simple in practice, but also delicious and healing, and it is not inferior to others.
Pull it down and make muffins together :)
Ingredients: Rice flour, glutinous rice flour, water, black sesame seeds, sugar, lard
Rice flour is mixed with glutinous rice flour. When I usually do it myself, I don't weigh it too much, usually more rice flour and less glutinous rice flour. Therefore, the proportion is for reference only, and it is adjusted according to the changes in your favorite taste, season and humidity.
Pour water into the mixed rice noodles. Water volume reference: after copying and mixing, grab a handful of powder and hold it into a ball, rub it can be rubbed and scattered. Carefully mix and rub. Pinch a handful to form a ball, rub can be rubbed loose.
It is very important to cover the carefully mixed powder and put it for 2-5 hours before using it. After standing, sprinkle the right amount of sugar directly and then simply mix it.
Wash and dry the black sesame seeds one night in advance and sauté the black sesame seeds in a non-stick pan. I usually fry for about 5 minutes.
Stir-fried sesame seeds plus an appropriate amount of sugar beat with a wall breaker. Heat the lard and stir the hot lard into the ground sesame seeds. I added some crushed walnuts and the sesame filling was ready.
Next, get the tools ready and start making. This step is very important, oh, directly related to whether you make a muffin or not, prepare a coarse hole sieve, mold, rolling pin, gauze.
Use a coarse-hole sieve (self-use 14 mesh, 12-20 mesh range, 20 mesh is a bit difficult) and sift into the cake mold by rubbing, turning and other techniques. Scrape flat with a scraping ruler.
2. Use a rolling pin to dig out the filling pit by turning it gently. It's delicious without filling. Add the filling. Generally, bean paste filling is the mainstay. I prefer to make sesame filling, which is fragrant and delicious, and it is also labor-saving.
3. Continue to sift the powder and scrape flat (be careful not to add too high the filling). Simply clean up the powder spilled on the cake box. Spread on a silicone steaming pad or gauze. Cover the steamer and flip it over completely.
4. Tap the rolling pin to make it fall off better. Gently lift the cake box to remove the mold, be careful. Decorate.
Boil a pot of boiling water, hold the steamer, hold the cake, and gently steam in the steamer for about 8-15 minutes. Take out the pot immediately after steaming, don't wait.
It is full of Chinese charm, holding a soft piece of snow white in your hand, cute and gentle. The powder in the mouth is soft and soft, and it produces some toughness in chewing, and the more you chew, the sweeter it becomes. It also carries an ancient and beautiful meaning: backgammon (cake)
Eat it while it's hot ~ I like smaller square cakes, mini cakes also like it, soft sticky sweet non-sticky teeth will not be greasy.
