Although cornmeal is a common ingredient in our daily lives, relatively few people eat it.
Cornmeal is a very healthy whole grain, and eating more of it is very good for the human body.
In daily life, cornmeal is usually used to cook porridge or steam buns.
Today I would like to share with you a different way to make corn flour, making corn flour cakes.
After this cornmeal cake is made, it is full of corn flavor, soft, sweet, and very delicious.
So let’s take a look at the tutorial for making this corn cake.
Ingredients for making cornmeal cake: cornmeal, sugar, yeast powder, flour, cooking oil. Steps of making 1. The delicacy I want to teach you today is cornmeal cake.
The method is very simple, with very few ingredients, and is simpler than steaming steamed buns.
First, prepare all the ingredients needed to make cornmeal cakes. Prepare 200 grams of cornmeal, 20 grams of sugar, three grams of yeast powder, 200 grams of flour, and an appropriate amount of cooking oil.
After seeing the materials, do you also feel that there is very little?
Just these 5 simple ones.
After you have prepared all the ingredients needed to make cornmeal cakes, you can start making today’s delicacy.
2. Let’s deal with the cornmeal first and put the prepared 200 grams of cornmeal into a larger pot.
The cornmeal should be prepared very finely, because this will make the cake taste better.
Generally, when making delicacies with cornmeal, you need to blanch it in boiling water.
Our cornmeal steamed cake is no exception.
After adding cornmeal to the bowl, pour boiling water and start stirring, stirring as you go, until it forms a large dough.
3. Then add 20 grams of white sugar, then pour in an appropriate amount of warm water and continue stirring. After stirring into a paste, add three grams of yeast powder.
Before adding yeast powder, you can test the temperature of the batter first. If the temperature is too high, it is not suitable to add yeast powder.
Wait until the temperature drops to about 40 degrees before adding yeast powder.
4. After mixing the yeast powder and corn batter evenly, we add 200 grams of flour in small amounts several times.
Also stir while adding, stir until it becomes a very thick paste, then cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place to ferment for an hour.
After an hour, open the plastic wrap and stir it to release the air inside.
5. Prepare 4 small bowls, just the ones you usually use to eat rice.
Then use a brush to brush cooking oil all around and on the bottom of the small bowl, then add the batter and fill it to 2/3. If the bowl you prepare is relatively small, you can prepare a few more bowls.
6. Next, start to boil water. First, boil an appropriate amount of boiling water in the steamer. After the water boils, put the corn batter we have packed into the steamer, and then steam over high heat for 20 minutes.
If you are worried that the corn cake will not be steamed enough, you can extend it for 5 to 6 minutes and then simmer it for a while.
7. After steaming, we take out the bowl, and then use a knife to score around the bowl, so that the cornmeal cake can be completely taken out.
You can eat the cornmeal cake after taking it out. A very delicious corn cake is completed.
Tips 1. Corn flour must be scalded with boiling water.
2. The fermentation time of corn batter must be sufficient, but not too long, because if the time is too long, it will easily make the batter sour and taste unpalatable.
