Hair cake "-This is a traditional China food, which is mainly made of glutinous rice, sugar and baking powder, and cooked with some dried fruits such as red dates and medlar. How can we steam the hair cake well? The fluffy, full, elastic, sweet and moist red date and egg cake is made as follows:

1. Prepare about 15g of flour, 5-8 red dates, 2 eggs, proper amount of yeast powder, half a spoon of white sugar and half a bowl of clear water;

2. Beat the eggs into a large bowl and add about 1-2 grams of yeast powder. It is difficult for everyone to control the number of grams, so just add some appropriately, or refer to the following figure;

3. Put in half a bowl of clear water and half a spoon of white sugar just prepared;

4. The following step is very important. When you make it, you must refer to the picture below. Use chopsticks to whip the egg liquid and water in the bowl in one direction until a lot of small bubbles appear. The beating time is about 3-5 minutes, and the bubbles can appear.

5. Put the flour that we just prepared into the egg liquid that we just stirred, and after stirring evenly, it will become a slightly thick batter;

6. Just now, didn't we prepare 5-8 people's red dates? After removing the core, cut them into small pieces of pulp, divide them into two parts, and put one part of the red jujube pulp that we just removed into the evenly stirred batter;

7. Prepare a high-temperature resistant glass bowl, or other bowls, and brush salad oil evenly in the bowl, so that the steamed hair cake can be easily taken out without sticking to the bottom of the bowl, and then put the batter we just stirred into the bowl;

8. Cover with plastic wrap and let the batter ferment for about one hour. Here's a trick to ensure that the batter can ferment smoothly. Heat the water in the steamer to 2-3 degrees, then turn off the fire and put the batter to be fermented in the steamer environment of 2-3 degrees, which will be smoother.

9 the height of the fermented batter is obviously increased, and then the pulp of the just left red dates is added;

1. Finally, the steamed cake needs to be preheated in advance. When it has a certain temperature, put the fermented batter into the steamer and steam it for 4 minutes on low heat. If you don't steam for enough time, the steamed hair cake will be very thin and sticky, and the time is enough, and the completely steamed hair cake will protrude slightly upwards.

Note: It is very important to beat the egg liquid and water in the bowl in one direction with chopsticks until many small bubbles are generated;

in order to ensure the smooth fermentation of the batter, the water in the steamer is heated to 2-3 degrees, then the fire is turned off, and the batter to be fermented is put in the steamer environment of 2-3 degrees for fermentation;

When steaming, simmer for 4 minutes. If you don't have enough steaming time, the steamed hair cake will be very thin and sticky. After steaming, it will protrude slightly. Turn off the fire. It is best to stew in the steamer for a few more minutes before taking it out.
