When we go to a hot pot restaurant and order food, we often find the name pumpkin cake in the dessert bar. This food made of pumpkin and glutinous rice flour has a golden crust and is sweet and savory.
Pumpkin pie is delicious, but it's quite expensive and copies are scarce. It's better to try making pumpkin pie once if you're plumping for it yourself! The method is really simple and can be learned by anyone with a little bit of cooking experience.
Easiest way to make pumpkin cake
Ingredients:200g of pumpkin, 200g of glutinous rice flour, 50g of sugar, red honeydew and water.
Operation:
1. Peel the pumpkin, then wash and cut into thin slices. Put it in a stainless steel basin and steam it in a steamer.
2. Squeeze the steamed pumpkin slices into a puree, then add glutinous rice flour and knead evenly into a ball. If it's too dry, add a little water.
3. After the pumpkin puree and glutinous rice flour are kneaded into a ball, let it rest for 10 minutes (let the dough wake up for a while).
4. Divide the dough evenly into 10 small pieces.
5. Take one small piece of dough, flatten it out, put red honey beans in the center, and then close it up and knead it (don't knead it for too long or it will burst easily).
6. Flatten the dough with the red honey beans. Then finish the rest of the dough in turn.
7. When all the dough is ready, put oil in a pan. When the oil is hot, fry the dough in the pan (you can also fry it in less oil). Fry until golden brown.
How to store pumpkin pies if you don't finish them
1. Drain the excess fat from the already fried pumpkin pies
Put them in a plastic bag, and then seal them after they have cooled down completely before storing them in the crisper. We recommend eating them within a day while they are fresh.
2. Unfried dough
Can be wrapped in a layer of flour and placed in a container in the freezer. When you want to eat it, you can take some out, thaw it, and deep fry it.
Precautions for preserving pumpkin pies
1. Deep-fried pumpkin pies will harden once they lose water, so wrap them in a plastic bag.
2. Glutinous rice flour more than put in the fresh room pumpkin cake will taste a little stiff. This time to fry again or put the pan hot steam before eating.
3. Frozen pumpkin cake must be wrapped in a layer of dry flour or glutinous rice flour, can prevent the pumpkin cake stick together and fall off.
4. Frozen pumpkin pie can only be deep-fried after thawing. If it doesn't cook well in the middle, it's easy to splatter.
