Horseshoes
In all the broad teahouses, there's this classic snack -- the horse-honey cake -- that's been growing up with the Cantonese, and in Guangdong, almost all their families do it. The practices and materials are simple, and can be evaporated with horse-hoove powder and sugar water. Sterilized horses-hooves are translucent, resilient and unbreakable, continuous, very sweet mouths, and have the effect of cooling。

  • Horseshoes Make Tips

    1. In Step 4, when stirring the raw powder batter, ensure you mix it thoroughly so there are no lumps or granules. 2. In fact, the success of the Water Chestnut Cake lies in the preparation of the half-cooked batter. In Step 10, when pouring in the cooked batter, you must do so quickly while stirring continuously; otherwise, transparent lumps will form, which will significantly compromise the texture of the steamed cake. 3. The ideal half-cooked batter should have a semi-transparent, paste-like consistency. Only then will the steamed Water Chestnut Cake be refreshing to eat—or as it is said in Cantonese, it will have enough "bounce." 4. After steaming, wait until the cake has completely cooled down before removing it; otherwise, it will crumble and fall apart.
