Many traditional Chinese dim sum, on the shape, on the variety, is always not enough variety and not enough dazzling. Comparing it with the exquisite and beautiful Western-style pastries, it immediately looks a little gray-headed.
In terms of calories, these traditional dim sums are not inferior to Western-style pastries at all, and they are also oil and sugar in turn, or even more so. For example, today's honey three knives, not only to fry first, but also to soak in a thick syrup, wrapped in a full of "honey juice". It's a sin to think about.
Despite these shortcomings, traditional dim sum has always had a loyal supporter. Because nothing can beat the taste of these snacks in our memories. How could the saqi horse, which I loved to eat most when I was a child, forget it when I grew up? People's taste preferences have been established since childhood.
So, it's no surprise that the Sachima, Tap red, wife cake, and date cake in my blog are often more popular than Western-style pastries.
Honey Three Knives is one of my favorite dim sums, one of the few traditional dim sum I didn't eat when I was a kid but still fell in love with it as soon as I ate it. Many times the honey three knives are considered to be beijing's famous specialties, but the honey three knives are not unique to Beijing, and can be seen in many parts of the country. After hundreds of years of circulation, the shape and practice of honey three knives are constantly changing, and many are different. Today's hair is the honey three knives that I eat the most and like the most in my daily life, and I recommend it to everyone. (Collapse)

1. First, knead all the ingredients of the leather together and knead into a dough. Knead all the ingredients of the pastry together and knead into a dough. Let two doughs sit and relax for 15 minutes. According to the water absorption of flour and the consistency of maltose, the amount of water in the formula should be increased or decreased according to the actual situation, and the kneading into a smooth and soft dough shall prevail.
2. Roll out the standing leather dough into thin slices.
3. Roll out the pastry dough into slices the same size as the dough.
4. Dip a brush in water and brush a layer of water over the leather dough.
5. Place the puff pastry dough on top of the dough so that the two bond tightly.
6. Sprinkle an appropriate amount of white sesame seeds on the surface of the pastry dough (depending on personal preference, it may also be left unsponed). Then roll out into thin slices about 0.8cm thick. Try to roll out rectangles.
7. Roll out the dough, cut off the irregular corners and cut into 2cm wide strips.
8. Cut the strips into 2cm*3cm rectangles.

1, honey three knives is a traditional Chinese dessert, after hundreds of years of circulation, the practice and appearance of the country have different changes. The honey three knives introduced today add a sufficient amount of sesame seeds to the leather, with a rich sesame flavor, so the lack of sesame seeds on the pastry has no impact on the taste. But if you like the feeling of appearing to be full of sesame seeds on the surface, you can also sprinkle more sesame seeds on the pastry.
2, the syrup will be very thick after cooling, when soaking honey three knives, to keep the syrup at a higher temperature, otherwise it will be hung too thick on the honey three knives. If the syrup is cold, you can heat the syrup again.
3, the "honey" in the three knives of honey refers to maltose. When buying maltose, buy light yellow or brownish yellow, flowable maltose instead of maltose paste.
4. Peanut oil in the recipe, as well as peanut oil used as frying oil, if there is no corn oil, soybean oil and other vegetable oils, can be replaced. But peanut oil has the most flavorful taste.
