Production technology

[raw materials]

Flour 150g, lard 50g, jujube paste 125g, sugar 25g, peanut oil 500g (about 35g). 1. Remove the skin and heart of dried lotus seeds, wash them and put them in the cage, steam them with high heat until they are crisp, and then knead them into mud (or finely ground with a small meat grinder) to form lotus antler;

2. Wash and heat the frying pan, then add the cooked lard. When it is 40% hot, add the sugar and cook it;

3. After the sugar is melted, pour in the lotus antler and stir fry it continuously with a hand spoon. The heat should be medium at the beginning. If the bubbles are too fast, use low heat to prevent scorching and reduce the bubbles;

4. Add white sugar and continue to stir fry until it doesn't touch the spatula. Then add the cooked lard and stir fry until the lotus antler is bright and white;

5. Take half of the flour, add 50 ml warm water and lard, mix and knead thoroughly to form water oil dough;

6. Add lard to the other half of flour and rub evenly to make dry pastry;

7. Wrap the pastry into the water oil dough, roll it flat, roll it into rectangular thin sheet, fold it into three layers, roll it into thin sheet, fold it into three layers, roll it open and fold it, then roll it into thin sheet with uniform thickness, and cut 20 round skins with a round die;

8. Divide the lotus seed paste into 20 parts, place them in the center of the crust, pinch them tightly, and place them with the necking part facing down. Cut them into five equal pieces with a blade from the top to all sides to form the lotus seed paste;

9. Put the green bodies into the colander separately in batches, put them into a 30-40% hot oil pan, deep fry them until the petals are open and the crisp layer is clear and mature, take them out and put them on the plate;

10. Put red cherry on the top of lotus cake.

Production tips

1. When rolling the pastry, the thickness should be uniform, and when rolling it into a rectangle, the four corners should be neat for folding;

2. The best way to cut petals is to just touch the filling heart. If the petals are too shallow, the crispy layer is not easy to initiate, and if the petals are too deep, the filling heart is easy to expose;

3. When frying, the oil temperature should be appropriate, not too much each time, and the discharge should not be too tight, so as to prevent adhesion and breakage during frying;

4. Due to the frying process, 1000 grams of cooked lard should be prepared.
