wife cake

1

Make glutinous rice filling first according to the length of standby time. Pour water, fine sugar and lard together into the pan

2

Bring to a boil over high heat until it boils, then turn to low heat.

3

Immediately pour in all the glutinous rice flour and stir quickly until the glutinous rice flour and water are completely mixed to form a sticky filling. turn off the heat

4

Add cooked white sesame seeds and stir well.

5

Lay the fried filling on a plate, place it in the refrigerator and refrigerate for 1 hour, until the filling does not stick to your hands.

6

Divide the refrigerated filling into 16 equally for use.

7

Then make a water-oil skin, mix all the flour, sugar, whole egg liquid, lard, and water evenly, and knead it into a smooth and soft dough (depending on the water absorption properties of the flour, the amount of water needs to be adjusted as appropriate, and it must be kneaded into a soft dough., not too dry).

8

Divide the dough into 16 portions, knead it into balls, and rest and relax for half an hour (to prevent the surface of the dough from drying out, cover it with plastic wrap or damp cloth when standing).

9

Then make the pastry. Mix the flour and lard and rub constantly until they are in a ball.

10

Divide the kneaded pastry dough into 16 equal portions.

11

Take a standing piece of water-oil dough and flatten it into a round shape. Place the pastry dough in the center of the water-oil dough.

12

Wrap it and place it with closed mouth down. Roll out the wrapped dough with a rolling pin to grow into an oval shape.

13

After rolling it out, roll it up from top to bottom

14

Rotate the rolled dough 90 degrees and roll it out again into a long oval (this time the oval will be longer than the first time).

15

Roll it up again from top to bottom.

16

Roll all 16 portions of dough and let sit and relax for 15 minutes (remember to cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap).

17

Take a standing piece of dough and roll it out into a round shape (as thick as possible in the middle and thin as around). Place a piece of glutinous rice filling in the center of the dough and wrap it.

18

After wrapping, close your mouth face down, roll it into a round cake shape, and place it on a baking sheet

19

Brush the dough with a layer of whole egg liquid. Sprinkle with some white sesame seeds. Then use a knife to make three cuts on the surface of the dough (the dough needs to be cut through). Allow to stand for another 15 minutes, place it in a preheated 200-degree oven and bake for about 20 minutes until the surface is golden brown.

1 Chinese meringue snacks like to be made with lard, which has a good crispy effect and a strong aroma. If there is no lard, butter can be used instead. If you don't even want to use butter, use vegetable oil! The same amount can be replaced, but the crispy effect is lard is the best, butter is second, and vegetable oil is the worst. 2 The last process (making a cut on the dough) is not only for the sake of beauty, but also to allow the internal heat to be released when the wife cake is baked. Otherwise, the filling will easily burst out during baking. 3 Medium-gluten flour is ordinary flour for household use. You can also use half high-gluten flour and half low-gluten flour instead. 4 Wife cakes are very crispy when first baked. Like the shortbread we eat, after being sealed and stored for a day, the outer skin absorbs the moisture of the filling, and the taste will become soft and be closer to commercial wife cakes.
