Corncake
By VicentaLakin
THE TRADITIONAL CORN PASTE IS THE STAPLE FOOD FOR EVERY FAMILY AS A CHILD. IT'S NOT A SNACK, IT'S DRY FOOD, IT'S THE SAME AS A BUN, AND IT'S A PERFECT MIX OF ANY CASSEROLE, STEW, PICKLES, SAUCE. I'VE BEEN EATING THIS PASTRY SINCE I WAS A KID, SO I'M NOT USED TO IT OUTSIDE. I DON'T REMEMBER IT BEING SWEET, NO SUGAR, NO RED DATES, NO RAISINS. PS: IT'S HARD FOR ME TO DO THIS JUST TO SHOW UP FOR MY GRANDMOTHER, AND I HAVEN'T LEARNED FOR 30 YEARS. THIS IS A NECESSARY SKILL FOR WORKING WOMEN IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY, BUT MANY OF THE SISTERS-IN-LAW HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO COOK FOR LIFE. SO, DON'T BLAME ME IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, BECAUSE I'M DOING IT UNDER MY MOTHER'S SUPERVISION, AND IT'S NOT WHAT SHE DOES。

Steps for Corncake
1
Corn pasta, yellow color selection, granular corn pasta, several supermarkets to find it. I didn't take pictures of it. It's just plain wheat powder。
2
Warm water and surface, first with a small amount of water, and then with a hand rub. Then you mix it with water and you mix it like this。
3
Add white noodles, mix, add a proper amount of water to this。
4
ADD A NOODLE, SMOOTH THE FACE, SOFTER THE HAND. COVER IT UP, FERMENT IT IN A WARM PLACE, AND IT'S GETTING COLD, SO YOU CAN FIND A BIGGER POT, ADD WARM WATER, AND PUT THE NOODLE IN IT. PS: THE NOODLE IS A PIECE OF PASTA LEFT OVER FROM THE LAST EVAPORATED PASTRY。
5
It's full, it's more than twice the size of a beehive, it's smelling a little sour, it collapses, it's a little sticky, it's softer than before the fermentation。
6
THE EDIBLE ALKALINE FLOUR IS HYDRATED WITH A TEMPERATURE AND A PROPER AMOUNT OF ALKALIN WATER IS ADDED TO THE LASAGNA AND EVENLY RE-BALANCED. AS SHOWN IN THE FIGURE. PS: THAT'S THE KEY STEP I'M NOT GOOD AT。
7
Steam pots with cool water, steam cages up there, cages laid。
8
Put your face in the steam cage, not too thick, and leave a little gap around。
9
The noodles were packed with two layers of steam cages. Look at the face's state, there's a bit of mobility, and the rest of the basin is the next one, which can be sealed in a freezer or dry storage。
10
Cover the pot, fire. After the water is released, the steam in the steam cage will be on it for another 15 minutes. Remember, it has to cool down. I forgot to take pictures of the steam pot. When it's steamed, it's pulled out, a little water on the cage, and it's out of the cage, and it's made out of cake。
11
Cut it off, like a map, beautiful beehive. Tastes great。
