Because there is no ready-made cake flour on hand, so I made a little homemade, take the glutinous rice flour and put it inside the steamer basket to steam for 10 minutes. Then put it in a clean pot and fry it over low heat until it dries out and doesn't smoke. Put the dried glutinous rice flour in a pot and let it cool.

Wash the fat and cut into large pieces. Put it into boiling water and boil it. Drain and place on a sheet pan. Cut the fat into small pieces. Soak the melon sugar in water until the powdered sugar on the outside dissolves and the melon sugar becomes soft. Cut the melon candy into paste.

Mix the chopped melon paste, sugar, cake flour, white sesame seeds, fat granules, lard and salt together to form a dough, and add a little water as needed. Sieve the low flour and lard mix, with the help of a scraper to knead it into a flourless shortening dough. Then make the pastry. Knead the dough and shortcrust separately and let it rest for 15 minutes. Divide the dough into 20 equal pieces. Then, flatten the puff pastry and wrap it into one of the shortcrust pastry. Pinch down and arrange on a board. Take a ball of puff pastry, flatten it and roll it from the center to the ends to form an oval shape.

Roll up the dough in a straight line. Arrange one by one on a sheet pan, cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 10-15 minutes. Take a piece of dough, flatten it out, and roll it out from the center to the ends to form an oval sheet. Roll out again and cover with plastic wrap for 20-30 minutes. Take a ball of shortcrust pastry and roll it up. Flatten and roll into a circle with a thick center and thin sides. Fill with a 40g filling. Close and flatten, and relax for 10-20 minutes. Arrange on a baking sheet, brush with egg wash and bake in a preheated 170° oven for 20-30 minutes.

Essentials:

The wonderful taste of wife cake comes from the layers of shortcrust pastry, which is as thin as cotton paper; it takes a lot of effort to make this layered texture. First of all, in terms of materials, we need to separate the water and oil doughs from the shortcrust pastry, and then fold the shortcrust pastry into the bread, then fold it up, and so on, and repeat this twice, making use of the characteristics of the insolubility of the water and the oil, and making the layers of fluffy and fluffy! The whole process should be even force, never break the crust.
