1, first of all, stuffing. The main filling of Huangkou sesame seed cake is pork fat oil mixed with pork belly or diced fat, which can't be mixed with cooking oil such as flour like other cakes. Pig fat oil is used because it gives off fragrance, especially fragrance. Chop pig fat oil with a knife and cook it with low fire, then add finely diced meat, and add more than 20 kinds of seasonings such as chopped green onion, salt, star anise and fennel. When mixed, it will become a paste filling.
2, followed by dough mixing. Noodles baked with sesame seeds are generally made of dough, and kneading dough is a very important link. Zhao Wenjie said, according to the different temperatures of the four seasons, it is entirely by experience to choose hot water with different temperatures and the time to wake up. Moreover, the noodles are not only neither soft nor hard, but also "air balls", that is, they don't touch the basin, hands or stoves, that is, the noodles are clean after being taken out, the hands are clean when making sesame cakes, and the furnace wall is clean after being baked in the sesame cake furnace. Can reach the "air ball" rough surface, sesame cakes will be crisp, tender and smooth, with distinct layers.
3. Once again, it is the kneading agent. First, flatten the flour dough, evenly spread a proper amount of stuffing, and roll it into a layered shape as a spoon for sesame cakes. Then, the dough is continuously rotated and extruded by hand, and the part without stuffing at the bottom of the dough is slowly extruded and deformed, and wrapped outside as the skin of the sesame seed cake. In this way, a round sesame seed cake is ready. The most important thing is that the baked sesame seeds need to be covered tightly and awakened for more than an hour, so that the baked sesame seeds are full and round, which makes people have an appetite.
4. Finally, baking. Roll the dough made for the second time into an oval horseshoe shape, evenly dip the front side with syrup and sesame seeds, soak the back side with cold water and stick it in the biscuit oven. Whether the roasted sesame seeds are superior or not depends entirely on the temperature. In the past few years, charcoal was used to bake Huangkou sesame cakes, but now the environmental protection situation is grim, and all of them have been changed to gas. If the gas fire is too big and the stove is too hot, the sesame cake will turn black; When the fire is small, the sesame seed cake won't paste, even if it does, it will slowly cook and the finished product will dry. Accurately grasp the temperature, all by feeling. Zhao Wenjie has decades of experience in baking cookies. He put his hand into the stove to know whether the temperature is moderate. If the temperature is too high, we should reduce the gas consumption. If the temperature is too weak, it is necessary to leave the oven empty for a while and let the baked wheat cake oven rise to a suitable temperature. Be careful not to fire when baking, it will take about 10 minutes.
