I don’t know when, hand cakes became popular in our daily life, and since their birth, they have been loved by the majority of people.
This may be related to its delicious taste and simple preparation.
We are usually tired from work and want to sleep more in the morning, so we don’t have much time to make breakfast.
But you can’t skip breakfast. After all, everyone knows that breakfast is the most important thing.
But I feel uneasy about eating food sold outside for a long time.
Then make your own hand cake embryos. You can make more at one time and put them in the refrigerator for 6 months without spoiling.
So today, Fatty will tell you how to make hand cakes.
In fact, it is not difficult to make. As long as we master the following points, we can have a clean, hygienic and nutritious breakfast every day without getting up early, and breakfast is ready in 5 minutes. Isn’t it very tempting and lazy?
Without further ado, let’s see how it’s done.
1. First prepare 700 grams of high-gluten flour, 6 grams of edible salt (the role of salt can improve the gluten of the flour, which can make the dough more extensible and thinner later), 370 ml of warm water (warm water and dough
, the cake made in this way will taste softer).
After stirring into a fluffy dough, knead it into a smooth and porcelain dough.
2. Then roll the dough into long strips and divide it into evenly sized dough pieces. I made about 16 hand-bake embryos in one day.
3. Knead each dough ball into a round dough, then flatten it, and apply cooking oil on the upper and lower sides and edges.
I use corn oil here because corn oil has little flavor and is easy to accept when making hand pancakes.
You can also choose cooking oil according to your own preferences.
4. After everything is done, put them together, cover them with plastic wrap to prevent them from air-drying, and set them aside to rest for at least 40 minutes. If they can rest for 1-2 hours, the hand cake will have the best effect.
5. The next thing to do is the pastry used for hand cakes.
Because I like the onion flavor, I used chopped green onion, which also contains thirteen spices, flour, edible salt, and soybean oil. Just mix them into a thin and flowing state like milk.
As for the appropriate amount of seasonings, this depends on personal taste. Add more if you like, but use less salt. Don’t make it too salty. After all, when we eat hand pancakes, we still need to spread the sauce.
One thing to remember is that the soybean oil must be heated in advance and then poured on.
6. Roll out the risen dough. It doesn’t need to be too thin, just 2 mm thick. Then spread the puff pastry evenly.
Just like folding a fan, stack them layer by layer. This is very important, because doing so is the key reason why the hand cakes have many layers.
7. After folding, grab both ends and stretch them while beating them on the chopping board.
Finally, roll it up from one end and tuck the tail underneath.
Press it a little more, and now a large part of the hand cake is completed.
8. At this step, cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This is to facilitate rolling out.
It is also a key step for delicious hand cakes.
9. Roll the relaxed dough into a large cake with a thickness of about 1.5 mm.
At this point our hand cake embryo is ready.
You also need to use isolation paper here. I bought the hand cake isolation paper specially from a certain store. If you can’t buy it at the moment, you can also use plastic wrap, plastic bags, or oil paper instead.
Finally, put the prepared hand cakes into the freezer of the refrigerator and freeze them, so they can be stored for half a year.
10. Get up early. There is no need to defrost. Just pick up the raw cake embryo and bake it in an electric pan or pan. What you need to do is to brush some oil in the pan and turn it on medium heat.
Then according to personal preference, add eggs, intestines, and vegetables, and the hand cake is completed.
11. After all, the hand cakes made by yourself are clean and hygienic, safe to eat, and have many layers. You can see the first picture in this article to see if the layers are very clear.
The texture is chewy and soft, and it's as delicious as the ones sold.
If you like it, just collect it first.
Do it when you have time.
Tip 1: Use warm water when kneading the dough, so that the cake will taste soft.
2. When folding, fold it like a fan, so that the layers will be more distinct.
3. When rolling it out at the end, roll it out thinly.
