Hello everyone, I am A Fei. Why do we make pancakes at home so dry and hard?
Making noodles is the first step. If you develop these 3 good habits, the baked cake will be soft and delicious, and it will not become hard after being stored for 2 days.
The first step in making pancakes is to mix the dough.
1. Kneading noodles
Generally, all-purpose flour is used at home. Pour the flour into a basin and add water directly. Wrong!
The first method: add a little salt when kneading the noodles to make the noodles more glutenous. Add some oil. If there is lard, it is best to add lard. If there is no lard, you can also use vegetable oil instead. The baked cake will crisp up better.
What kind of water is used to make noodles?
When the weather is hot, you can directly add cold water. Now that it is cold, it is best to use warm water of about 30 degrees to avoid freezing your hands, which is a dead end.
You can also scald half of the flour with boiling water until soft, and mix the other half with warm water. This is semi-scalded noodles.
Both dead noodles and semi-hot noodles can be used to make pancakes. Whether it is dead noodles or semi-hot noodles, try to make the dough softer.
If the dough becomes hard, the baked cake will become hard easily.
When kneading the dough, don’t knead it vigorously for a long time. Cover the dough and let it rest for a while until it relaxes. After the dough has rested, just plate it and the dough will become smooth.
Now that the noodles are ready, let’s make a sauce-flavored pancake that both adults and children love to eat. Spread some sauce on the pancake and sprinkle some chopped green onion. It’s soft and delicious.
2. While the noodles are waking up, cut some minced ginger and chopped green onions. Prepare a small mixing bowl, pour 5 grams of soybean paste, 5 grams of chili sauce, and 5 grams of red chili oil and stir evenly.
Heat a little hot oil in the pot, fry the minced ginger and green onion, pour the fried green onion oil into the stirred sauce, then heat the sauce, the aroma will simmer for a while, then add it to the sauce. Come on, the house is filled with fragrance.
3. After 10 minutes, the dough will be relaxed enough and can be easily plated. Sprinkle flour on the chopping board, take out the dough and knead it into a round dough, and use a rolling pin to roll it into a round cake.
Brush with layers of puff pastry, and the baked pancakes will taste particularly delicious with layers of puff pastry.
Use a small brush to apply a layer of pastry. Pastry is a thick batter made by boiling flour with hot oil. The specific method is as follows: Food has a detailed video on how to make dough.
Use a knife to cut one side, then roll it up, and then use a rolling pin to roll it into a round cake. Don't roll the pie crust too thin as it won't be easy to have layers.
4. Heat the electric pan and brush it with a layer of oil. After the pan is hot, put the pancake on it.
If you want the pancakes to be neither dry nor hard, but soft and delicious:
(1) Try to use medium heat and low heat to bake slowly. The moisture will be lost quickly. If it takes a long time to bake, The cookies will come out dry.
(2) Don’t always turn the pancakes over. If you turn them too quickly, you can change one side to the other before it gets hot. If you turn it back and forth, it is easy to lose moisture.
(3) When frying pancakes, try to brush some oil on the pancakes. Oil is also used to lock in moisture.
When both sides of the cake are baked until golden brown, brush with the prepared sauce and sprinkle with a handful of sesame seeds and a handful of chopped green onion.
Put some salt and oil when kneading the noodles, and wait for more. When frying pancakes, brush oil first, turn on medium heat, and don't stir too frequently. The baked pancakes will be fragrant and soft, and will not become hard after two days of baking. Your cheeks will not hurt after eating the pancakes.
Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, you can roll it up or tear it apart and eat it layer by layer. You can’t get enough of the delicious flavor. It saves time because you don’t need to bake the dough, and it tastes better when you make it freshly. If you are in a hurry for work, you can also make it at night. It will be soft and delicious when you put on the electric pan in the morning.
