Why is Xue Mei Niang's skin very thin?
Too much water. Xuemei Niang Pi is mainly made of glutinous rice flour, corn flour, milk, sugar, white oil or butter, cream and other materials. Under normal circumstances, it is normal to be thin at first after making, and it will become appropriate viscosity after being placed for a period of time. However, the deployment of materials is unreasonable. If too much water is added, the dough will still be in a thin state after maturity, or the steaming time is not enough, and the water has not completely evaporated, which will cause the skin of Xuemei Niang to be very thin.
How to remedy the thin skin of Xue Mei Niang?
Continue steaming or adding corn flour. Xuemei Niangs are steamed by steaming, and these materials can be steamed repeatedly, which will not affect the nutritional value and taste of the materials. Therefore, when Xuemei Niangs are thin, the steaming time can be extended, and then the steaming is finished when the water in the materials evaporates to a suitable degree. Or directly add some corn flour to increase the viscosity of the skin of Xuemei Niang. When the corn flour is cooked and the viscosity of the dough reaches a suitable level, the steaming can be finished.
Should Xue Mei Niang keep it in the refrigerator?

However, it should be noted that if Xuemei Niang is to be stored in the refrigerator, it must be sealed, so as to reduce its water loss.
