The Spring Festival is approaching, and every family is busy making a variety of delicacies, full of strong New Year flavors. Crispy horn is one of them. Today, let the reporter take everyone into Guo Cuiling's home in Liyuanbao Village, Nanliang Town, to see how they make crispy horns.
"When you beat an egg with noodles, mix the lard, yeast noodles, salt, and soda into the noodles, and then use the boiled pepper water to add up, and the fried puff pastry is crispy." Guo Cuiling said. For the New Year's reunion, the family eats their own crispy horns. The night before, Guo Cuiling had finished fermenting the dough, and early in the morning, she and her husband began to burn oil and noodles, make skin, and stir it.
Kneading the reconciled dough into a plastic bag for about 15 minutes, and then rolling the dough into a round cake shape, this is the first process of making puff pastry. Guo Cuiling said that traps are the key to making crispy horns, and it is also its soul. When mixing, you should put sesame seeds, peanuts, orange peel, sugar, you can also mix cooking wine according to your own taste, etc., so that the trap is not only sweet and delicious, but also symbolizes the sweetness and harmony of the family.
Roll out the skin and mix the filling. She and her husband laughed and put the stuffing into the dough, and then twisted the two sides together to make a beautiful lace, and a white and fat crisp horn was made. A red dot symbolizing happiness and auspiciousness is lit to set off the New Year atmosphere. Put the crispy corners into the hot oil pot and keep turning, and in an instant, the aroma fills the whole kitchen. After a few minutes, the golden crispy horns came out of the pot.
Guo Cuiling and his wife are authentic farmers, who used to support their families by farming land, and their lives were very tense. With the continuous development of red tourism, more and more tourists come to Nanliang. Now, she and her husband have opened a farm. Not only does it allow more people to taste the characteristics of Nanliang, but it also becomes a new person on the road to poverty alleviation and prosperity. Guo Cuiling said: "When I was a child, I learned to make crispy horns with my mother, what I used to do was for dolls to eat, and now I hope to pass on this ancient skill from generation to generation, so that more people can taste Nanliang snacks." I also hope that 2021 will be prosperous. (Huachi Rong Media/Charm Huachi Reporter Shi Yanxia)
