chestnut pancake
My husband and I both like to eat chestnut cakes, but I don't want to queue up outside to buy them all the time. One is that it's unsanitary.(They use the money hand to grab chestnut cakes...) Besides, there are too many people, I don't want to wait. But after searching many websites, I couldn't find it. I thought, why don't you just do it yourself? I like doing it myself. Rich imagination!!!

Steps for chestnut pancake

  • Make  step 0
    1
    If chestnuts are to be raw, you can use scissors to cut the chestnuts from the middle and peel them.
  • Make  step 1
    2
    The film in the middle may not fall off easily when peeling, but it doesn't matter, it will be easy to peel off when steaming. Put on the steamer for about half an hour. Observe while steaming until cooked and soft.
  • Make  step 2
    3
    When steaming the chestnuts, you can mix the dough and knead all the ingredients of Material 1 into dough. No matter which dough you use, it should be soft. (You can also use lard for this. I use vegetable oil because I am afraid of getting cerebral thrombosis if I eat too much lard...)
  • Make  step 3
    4
    Knead all the ingredients of Material 2 into dough, preferably with warm water. Makes the dough soft. (Remember to soften the dough)
  • Make  step 4
    5
    Kneak the dough until smooth and place it in a crisper. You can also cover it with plastic wrap. Or a wet towel (dough 1 is larger than dough 2).
  • Make  step 5
    6
    I left an uncut chestnut to prove that steaming and peeling is easier than peeling raw. Remove the film left on the chestnuts while it is hot.
  • Make  step 6
    7
    Crush the chestnuts while they are hot and into powder. (You can also place chestnuts on the panel and crush them with a rolling pin).
  • Make  step 7
    8
    Add lard and sugar to chestnut powder. Add according to your taste. (Remember that chestnuts are inherently sweet)
  • Make  step 8
    9
    Stir together chestnut powder, lard, and sugar until well.
  • Make  step 9
    10
    Divide dough 1, dough 2, and filling into equal amounts of small doses.
  • Make  step 10
    11
    Take a small dose of Dough 2 and knead it into slices, or roll it into slices with a rolling pin (not too thin).
  • Make  step 11
    12
    Place small pieces of dough 1 on top of dough 2.
  • Make  step 12
    13
    Wrap the small amount of dough 1 with the small amount of dough 2 (the skin must be pinched tightly because it is oily).
  • Make  step 13
    14
    Roll out the wrapped small dose into a long strip.
  • Make  step 14
    15
    Roll it up along the edge and stand for about 15 minutes (make other small doses during this period and place them in the order they are completed).
  • Make  step 15
    16
    After standing still for 15 minutes (I didn't look at the time, I probably finished making the other small doses), continue to roll the rolled small doses into long strips in a diagonal direction.
  • Make  step 16
    17
    Continue rolling along the edge.
  • Make  step 17
    18
    Still again, as shown in the picture. Use in order.
  • Make  step 18
    19
    (Remember to use the small doses in order, as it takes time to rest.) Take the first small dose.
  • Make  step 19
    20
    Press the rolled and static small dose flat (stand the rolled small dose on the panel and press it down obliquely. It will be different).
  • Make  step 20
    21
    Place the chestnut filling on a flattened small dose.
  • Make  step 21
    22
    When you close your mouth, remember to squeeze it tightly, otherwise it will leak out at the back, which will be very troublesome.
  • Make  step 22
    23
    Press the small dose of filling flat,(Don't put the mouth on the side, make sure it is under to prevent the filling from coming out).
  • Make  step 23
    24
    Press sesame seeds on the top and bottom of the chestnut cake.
  • Make  step 24
    25
    I've done a lot.
  • Make  step 25
    26
    I don't have that kind of double-sided electric baking pan at home. I use a pan. Not bad. Use a brush to grease the pan before putting it into the pan (I use vegetable oil, I don't have a brush at home, I use a wooden shovel.) Remember to use a low fire.
  • Make  step 26
    27
    During this period, the chestnut cake will absorb the oil, observe more and brush the oil...
  • Make  step 27
    28
    Keep the fire low for about 3.4 minutes, turn it over. (Remember to brush oil on the cake before turning, and it will absorb all the oil after turning, so remember to brush oil again).
  • Make  step 28
    29
    Because it is a small fire, the cake will not be crisp if it is a large fire., Make sure you wait for the chestnut cake, and you can cover it with a lid during this period.
  • Make  step 29
    30
    After two or three minutes, it was okay. After eating it, my husband said it was good. This definitely has no preservatives or flavors, haha, just start it.

    I used to always see chestnut kernels for sale at the supermarket, but when I went to buy them today, they were gone. It's more convenient to just buy raw chestnut kernels directly. If you find rolling small dough pieces troublesome, you can just make one big piece of dough and wrap the filling directly. I think you could use an oven as well.
