Hair cake "-this is a traditional food in China, which is mainly made of glutinous rice, sugar, baking powder and some dried fruits such as red dates and medlar. How can I steam the cake? The fluffy, full, elastic, sweet and moist red jujube egg cake is made like this:

1. Prepare flour 150g or so, 5-8 red dates, 2 eggs, proper amount of yeast powder, half a spoonful of sugar and half a bowl of clear water;

2. Beat the eggs into a large bowl and add about1-2g of yeast powder. It is difficult for everyone to control grams, just add some appropriately, or refer to the picture below;

3. Add half a bowl of water and half a spoonful of sugar just prepared;

The next step is very important. Be sure to refer to the picture below when making. Beat the egg liquid and water in the bowl in one direction with chopsticks until a lot of small bubbles are stirred. The beating time is about 3-5 minutes, and bubbles can appear;

5. Put the flour we just prepared into the egg liquid that has just been stirred, and after stirring evenly, it becomes a slightly thick batter;

6. Didn't you just prepare red dates for 5-8 people? After removing the core of jujube, cut it into small pieces of pulp and divide it into two parts. Put a piece of jujube pulp that we just removed the core into the batter that has just been evenly stirred;

7. Prepare a high-temperature resistant glass bowl or other bowls, and brush salad oil evenly in the bowl, so that the steamed hair cake can be easily taken out without sticking to the bottom of the bowl, and then put the batter we just stirred into the bowl;

8. Cover with plastic wrap and let the batter ferment for about an hour. Here's a little trick to ensure smooth batter fermentation. Heat the water in the steamer to 20-30 degrees, then turn off the fire and put the batter to be fermented in the steamer environment at 20-30 degrees, which will be smoother.

9 The height of the fermented batter is obviously increased, and then the pulp of the newly left red dates is added;

10. Finally, steamed cakes need to be preheated in advance. When there is a certain temperature, put the fermented batter into a steamer and steam it on low heat for 40 minutes. If you don't steam for enough time, the steamed cake will be thin and sticky, and time is enough. Fully steamed hair cakes slightly protrude upward;

Note: It is very important to beat the egg liquid and water in the bowl in one direction with chopsticks until a lot of small bubbles are stirred up.

In order to ensure the smooth fermentation of the batter, the water in the steamer is heated to 20-30 degrees, then the fire is turned off, and the batter to be fermented is placed in the steamer environment of 20-30 degrees for fermentation;

When steaming, simmer for 40 minutes. If there is not enough steaming time, the steamed cake will be thin and sticky. It will protrude slightly after steaming. Turn off the fire. It's best to stew in the steamer for a few more minutes before taking it out.
