Every time I pass by the snack bar or breakfast restaurant, I am attracted by the snow white sugar cake, and I can't help but buy something to eat, but every time I am disappointed, the current white sugar cake has completely changed its taste, and I can't eat the taste of my childhood. The white sugar cake in the memory, soft and sweet, with a little sour taste, the entrance is dry Q bomb, the silky rice flavor is accompanied by the sweetness of the sugar, and now the white sugar cake sold in the snack bar only eats a very sour and sweet taste, and the sticky teeth are too far from the taste eaten when I was a child.
Later, I decided to try to do it myself, searched for a few squares on the Internet, tried to do it three times, the first time to do fermentation time was not enough, failed to ferment well, and failed. The second fermentation was too long, with a very sour and sour taste, similar to the white sugar cake bought outside. The last time, I finally made the taste of my childhood, with a little sour taste, soft and sweet, and I ate a small plate in one breath, which was very satisfying.
White sugar cake, also known as "Lunjiao cake", originated from Lunjiao Town, Shunde District, Guangdong Province, and is a traditional pastry snack in Lingnan. Made by fermenting and steaming rice syrup, it is a favorite pastry in summer due to its special flavor and sweet flavor. The traditional white sugar cake process is more complicated, first use cold water to soak rice overnight, change the water several times in the middle, and then use stone grinding with clean water to grind well, put into a cloth bag to press the water, take wet powder to use, from the grinding step alone is more ingenious. We do it ourselves at home, with the simplest way to make it, now there are a lot of sticky rice noodles on the market for sale, directly buy sticky rice noodles to do simple and convenient, sticky rice noodles are also divided into many varieties, we must buy water mills, made to make little difference with the fresh grinding, but the rice flavor is not as thick as the freshly ground. Let's share the recipe for a simple home version of white sugar cake
【Sugar Cake】
Ingredients: 100 grams of water-ground sticky rice flour, 75 grams of cold water, 75 grams of boiled water, 50 grams of white sugar, 1.5 grams of yeast
method:
1, prepare the required materials, the bowl of the following picture is cold water, pour the cold water into the sticky rice flour, while pouring while stirring.
2: Stir until there is no dry powder, no granules, and add white sugar when smooth, continue to mix until the sugar melts. Add boiling water (boiling water) and stir as you add.
3, when the boiling water is just added, there will be a lump status quo, but it does not matter, continue to stir will melt, put aside, when the rice paste temperature drops to about 30 degrees, add yeast.
4, stir until the yeast is completely melted, cover with plastic wrap, put aside to ferment, now the weather is relatively hot, room temperature fermentation can be. Fermented until the rice paste bubbled up, about 1.5 to 2 hours, I put it in the sun for a while, fermented for 2 hours, when it was around 5 o'clock, the sun was softer.
5: Brush the small plate with cooking oil, stir the rice paste after fermentation, stir and exhaust evenly, and then pour into the small plate.
6, put in the steamer for 10 minutes, then boil water for 20 minutes, do not open the lid immediately after steaming, simmer for 3 minutes and then open the lid, wait for cold and cut into pieces to eat.
Tips:
1, when adding yeast, you should wait for the temperature to drop, and then add, the temperature is too high will burn the yeast to death, fermentation can not be up.
2, the fermentation time should be determined according to the temperature, the fermentation time of high temperature is short, and the fermentation time of low temperature will be longer. Do not over-ferment, if there are a lot of large bubbles, it proves that the fermentation is excessive, and it will be sour when steamed.
3, after exhaust, let stand for 10 minutes before starting to steam, steaming and simmering for 3 minutes before opening the lid, so as not to retract.
