How to Make Wife Cake ?

First make the glutinous rice filling. Pour water, sugar and lard into a pot together

Cook over high heat until boiling, then turn down the heat

Immediately pour in all of the glutinous rice flour and stir quickly so that the glutinous rice flour and water are completely mixed to make a sticky filling. Turn off the heat

Add the cooked white sesame seeds and stir well

Place the fried filling on a plate and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, until the filling doesn't stick to your hands

Divide the chilled filling into 16 equal portions and set aside

Next, make the dough by mixing the flour, sugar, egg, lard, and water together well, and then knead it until it forms a smooth and soft dough (depending on how much water the flour absorbs). The amount of water needs to be adjusted according to the different absorbency of the flour, and the dough must be soft and not too dry)

Divide the dough into 16 equal portions, knead them into balls, and let them rest for half an hour. (To prevent the surface of the dough from drying out, cover it with plastic wrap or a damp cloth when it is resting)

Then, make the shortcrust pastry. Combine the flour and lard and knead the dough until it forms a ball. Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces

Take a piece of the rested dough and flatten it into a circle

Place the dough in the center of the dough

Wrap it up and place it, seam-side down

Roll the dough with a rolling pin to make a long oval

Roll the dough and roll it up from the top

Roll the dough and turn it 90 degrees. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and roll it out again into a long oval shape (this time the oval shape will be longer than the first)

Roll it again from the top to the bottom

Roll all 16 pieces of dough as shown in the picture and let it rest for 15 minutes (remember to cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap)

Take a piece of rested dough and roll it out into a round shape (try to roll it out as thick as possible in the center with a thin circumference).

Place a piece of glutinous rice filling in the center of the dough and wrap it up

When it's wrapped up, roll it out, seam-side down, and place it on a baking sheet

Brush the top of the dough with a layer of egg wash

Sprinkle some white sesame seeds on it. Then use a knife to make three cuts on the surface of the pastry (you need to cut through the pastry). Let it rest for 15 minutes, then put it into the preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius and bake for about 15 minutes, until the top is golden brown

Tips

1, the filling of this wife cake is the traditional glutinous rice filling. Today's wife cake filling is very rich in variety, bean paste, date paste can be used as wife cake filling, you can choose according to their own preferences.

2, the traditional wife cake filling will be added to the winter melon puree, later production in the convenience of considerations are generally replaced by sugar winter melon. If you have sugar melon strips, cut 40 grams of sugar melon strips into small grains or puree and mix into the filling, the texture will be richer and closer to the flavor of the traditional wife cake.

3, Chinese shortcrust pastry favorite lard to make, good crisping effect, rich aroma. If you don't have lard, you can use butter instead. If you don't even want to use butter, use vegetable oil! Equivalent substitutions can be made, but the shortening effect is the best lard, followed by butter, vegetable oil is the most inferior.

4, the last process (in the crust on the cuts) is not only for aesthetic purposes, but also for the wife cake baking, the internal heat can be released, otherwise, baking the filling is easy to burst out oh.?

5, medium gluten flour that is ordinary flour at home. You can also use half of the high gluten flour and half of the low gluten flour instead.

6, wife cake just baked when very crispy. After a day of sealed storage, the crust will absorb the moisture of the filling, and the texture will become fluffy and closer to the commercially available wife cake.
