The process of making oil cakes
Place 300 grams of cold water in a pot, heat over high heat until the periphery of the water is slightly boiled, pour in the flour
Stir in one direction with a rolling pin so that the flour merges completely with the water to form a wet hot dough with no dry powder and no excess moisture
Grab a dough with your hand and roll it back and forth in your hand, and the dough doesn't stick to your hands
The hot dough is folded upside down on the board, and the palm of the hand is dipped in some cold water to spread the hot dough
Use a knife to divide the hot dough into several pieces, the purpose is to let the hot air in the dough dissipate as soon as possible, which is called "degassing."
Mix 50 g of dry flour in two divided doses and knead repeatedly by hand
Knead until the surface of the dough is smooth, cover with a piece of plastic wrap and put aside for dumplings, cook for 1 to 2 hours in hot weather, and 7 to 8 hours when it is cold
Prepare 75 grams of brown sugar and 20 grams of raw white sesame seeds, put them in a frying pan, and fry until the sesame seeds are fragrant and the surface is a faint yellow color.
The sautéed white sesame seeds are placed on a board and repeatedly rolled with a rolling pin to crush the crust of the sesame seeds
Prepare 20 grams of wheat flour and sauté over low heat until the flour turns yellow, remove from the heat and let the flour cool
Cooled cooked flour, sesame powder in the brown sugar, stir by hand, if the brown sugar has a clumping phenomenon, stir at the same time to use your hands to loosen the brown sugar block
Rub a small amount of cooking oil on the palms of both hands, pluck a dough seed weighing about 30 grams, and knead it into a round ball shape
Press the round ball agent into a flat round agent by hand, pinch the thumb of the left hand in the center position of the flat round agent, and press the remaining four fingers to the center position behind the flat round agent
The thumb of the right hand is pinched at the edge of the flat round agent, and the remaining four fingers are pressed to the edge position behind the flat round agent, centered on the center of the flat round agent, and kneaded into a slightly thinner edge and slightly thicker crust in the middle
Place the round crust in the palm of your left hand and place 2 tablespoons of brown sugar sesame filling in the center of the crust
With the right hand, the edge of the crust is closed like a bun, and the closing point is pinched with the palm of the hand to form a cone shape
Use the palms of both hands to pat back and forth a few times to form a round cake, and a raw cake blank is ready
Fill the pot with enough cooking oil and heat it over high heat to raise the oil temperature
Take the prepared oil cake raw blank and put it into the oil pot, if the oil temperature is appropriate, the moment the oil cake raw blank enters the pot, there will be a spectacular scene of oil flowers tumbling
Frying, and using chopsticks to constantly flip the oil cake blank
Fried until the cake blank swells and the surface is golden brown, the cake is fried, and the oil cake is fished out. Good food--- Xiangning oil cake.
