Flour can make many delicious pasta. If you have an idea, you can make different spaghetti for a week, and it won't make people tired. Among them, almost everyone likes to eat pancakes, especially northerners, who cook them once every three days. Cook a pot of porridge or broth and eat it with pancakes. It seems simple, but it makes people never tire of eating.
When I was a child, I liked to eat pancakes bought outside. Because there are many layers, I can eat them layer by layer. And each layer is very thin and soft, and it tastes good even if it is cold. But my mother's pancakes are delicious, soft and delicious, but they are always bad, and some of them are hard and have no layering, so I have to go out to buy them when I want to eat them.
I always find it difficult to make pancakes. Later, when I grew up and learned a lot of cooking knowledge, I realized that it was not difficult to make pancakes. Just do three steps, and kneading dough is the most important step.
Make pancakes at home in 3 steps. Pancakes are layered, soft and hard, but they are not hard when they are cold! What are the three steps? They are making dough, cakes and pancakes.
There are many ways to mix dough, such as adding yeast powder and cold water. The best way is to mix dough with half cold water and half boiling water, so that pancakes made from dough are soft and chewy, taste good, and are not hard when they are cold. If you add yeast powder and flour, pancakes are soft, but they have no gluten. This kind of pancake is suitable for people with a bad mouth. If you add cold water and flour, pancakes are hard and suitable for making pot helmets into broth, or making noodles and dumpling skins.
Making ghee plays the role of layering and enhancing fragrance and taste, which is easier to operate than adding fat and has more obvious layering effect.
Pancakes should be cooked for a long time and thoroughly, and they should be turned in time. If the time is too long, the water in the pancake will be lost and the pancake will be dry and hard.
Let's share with you the detailed method of making pancakes and see how these three steps are done respectively. Friends who can't do it may wish to follow suit and make sure you can succeed.
Cooking steps:
Step 1: Mix the dough.
Add the right amount of flour to the basin. If the novice has never been exposed to flour, it is recommended to use less flour for the first time and take a cup to avoid too much difficulty in operation.
Divide the flour into two parts by hand and draw a line, or don't draw a line deliberately, be conscious. Mix half the flour with cold water and the other half with boiling water.
Now boil a pot of boiling water, add boiling water to half of the flour and stir until there is no dry powder, only flour floc, and don't mix too much water into a paste.
Then add cold water to the other half of the flour and stir until there is no dry powder.
Mix the two kinds of flour wadding together with chopsticks, stir for a few times to dissipate heat quickly, then knead it into dough by hand, knead it for a few times, and then cover it to wake up for ten minutes.
The purpose of proofing dough is to knead dough better. Time is up, knead it into a smooth dough, cover it a little, and wake up for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Make cakes.
30 minutes after waking up, take a small bowl, add one or two spoonfuls of flour, add salt and spiced powder and stir a few times.
Add a little cooking oil to the pot, heat it to smoke, pour the hot oil into a bowl and stir it into a paste, so that the cake is ready.
Take out the dough and don't knead it. If the dough is large, it can be divided into two or three small pieces and then treated separately. Arrange the dough into a circle or rectangle, and then roll it into a circle or rectangle.
Dip the pastry with a brush and brush it on the dough. After spreading evenly, knead the dough into a ball, cover it with wet cloth or plastic wrap, and wake it for ten minutes.
If you have a round dough, you can roll it from one side to the other, and then roll it from one end to the other. Put your head away and wake up. You can also make a knife for the round dough, roll it up from the edge and press the ball to wake up. For rectangular dough pieces, make several symmetrical cuts on each of the two long sides, and then overlap the cut dough pieces to tidy up the dough. There are many ways, and you can also play by yourself.
After waking up, take out the dough embryo and roll it flat, just a little thinner, not too thin, otherwise the baked cake will easily dehydrate and dry.
Step 3: pancakes.
Preheat the electric baking pan or pan, apply cooking oil, put the cake embryo in, and coat the surface with cooking oil.
Cover the pancake, bulge it and turn it over immediately. Continue to cover the pancake.
If you use an electric baking pan, remember to heat both sides. If you use a pan, remember to turn on the small fire. Bake until both sides are golden, and then serve.
