1. Luanxi leaves are bought in bunches, removed from the stems and washed, as shown on the cover.
2. Add water and use a juicer to squeeze out the juice. The ratio of leaves to water refers to the height of the leaves in the juicer cup. Visually, the amount of water should be up to 1/10 of the space capacity of the leaves. If you like the stronger flavour, reduce the amount of water.
3. Boil the leaf juice and dregs together, and then add sugar. There are 8 taels of sugar for 1 kilogram of leaves. However, considering that the amount of juice squeezed each time is not constant, I will add half a kilogram of sugar first. After boiling the leaf juice, taste it, and then slowly add sugar. The final sweetness standard is that if you feel it is 3 degrees sweeter, but you can tolerate it and drink it, then it is right.
4. Whether to sift or not to sift is a personal preference, and I like to sift. The texture of the cake is much smoother. At this point, the sweet leaf juice is ready and ready for use.

Mix the corn flour and sweet leaf juice together, mix well. Chengfen is very water-hungry, so Fangzi’s powder:water = 1:3.
100 grams of total powder should be mixed with 300 ml of sweet leaf juice. However, when mixing the powder with the juice, do not use all the juice. Leave 50 ml for later use.
As shown in the picture, this step was taken too early, and there is still a small amount of juice left, so the final pink water will be greener and thinner. On the eighth day of April, Luanxi Cake, Twisted Western Cake, Smoked Western Cake, Q-bomb version of the Buddha Festival Step 2
Prepare a non-stick pan, heat it up, add 2 to 3 rounds of vegetable oil, pour in the oil when it is hot Add the powdered water, turn to medium-low heat, and mix slowly with a spatula.

Put the cooked dough ball on the chopping board, let it dry for a while, then add some vegetable oil to knead the dough ball. After adding vegetable oil, you will find that the dough can basically aggregate. Then take 50 ml of sweet leaf juice that was previously used, and add it in small amounts at several times. The target dough state is: dry and not mushy, gathered and not broken. Step 6 of how to make Luanxi Cake and Twisted Western Cake for the Buddha Festival on the eighth day of April
At that time, there was no traditional wooden mold on hand, only a biscuit mold, so I rolled out the dough into a thin layer. Cover the shape with a mold. On the eighth day of April, Luanxi Cake, Nianxi Cake, Yanxi Cake, Buddha Bathing Festival, how to make the Q-bomb version, Step 7
Place the steamer in the steamer, and steam it when the water is boiling. My 5 mm thick pancake steamed over high heat for 6 minutes. After turning off the heat, don't rush to lift the lid and let it simmer for 5 minutes before taking it out of the pan. After taking it out of the pan, let it dry before eating. Don't eat the cake after it has been made into powder. It won't taste good. Just keep it at room temperature.
