With the continuous improvement of living standards, more and more people pay attention to health preservation and nutritional balance, among which coarse grains and fine grains are a good choice. The most common whole grain we eat daily is cornmeal, which can be mixed with a little when steaming steamed buns, or directly made into steamed buns. It is fluffy, soft, sweet and delicious, and is rich in dietary fiber. It has a delicate taste, is nutritious and is easy to digest. However, many people report that the steamed cakes they steam are not fluffy enough and even a little sticky. What is going on? Next, let’s take a look at it. In fact, yeast alone is not enough to make steamed cakes. You also need to add another flavor, so that the steamed cakes will be fluffy, sweet, non-sticky and fluffy.

Corn Hair Cake

1. Prepare a kneading basin, pour 200 grams of corn flour, knead the dough with boiling water, stir until there is no dry flour, set it aside to cool , the cornmeal blanched in boiling water becomes sweeter and more delicate.

2. Prepare a small bowl, add 3 grams of yeast, 5 grams of sugar, pour 180 ml of warm milk, stir with a spoon to dissolve. The sugar can promote fermentation and make the dough softer and fluffy.

3. Next, add 100 grams of ordinary wheat flour to the cooled cornmeal, beat in 2 eggs, the eggs can also be stirred better, and then pour in the milk with your hands. Stir to fully combine the cornmeal and wheat flour.

4. The dough should be thinner so that the resulting cake will be more fluffy and soft. Stir it into a thicker paste with your hands to show the texture. After mixing, cover with a plate and place in a warm place to ferment for an hour.

5. At this time, we prepare a small basin and wrap the small basin with tin foil, so that it will be heated more evenly during steaming and will not stick to the basin.

6. After an hour, the batter has fermented. Open the plate and take a look. There are many honeycomb holes inside.

7. We pour the batter into the prepared small basin and scrape it clean with a spoon. If the batter in the small basin is uneven, we shake the small basin and it will be flat. Then put the prepared walnut kernels, green beans, and red dates on top for decoration. Of course, you can also put other nuts you like.

8. Take out the electric steamer, add water to the pot, and put a small basin into the pot. While the cold water is boiling, it also gives the cake a second fermentation time. Start timing after the water boils and steam over medium heat for 25 minutes.

9. Turn off the heat after 25 minutes. Do not take it out immediately. Wait for 3 minutes to wait for the heat to dissipate to avoid shrinkage and collapse when suddenly exposed to cold. When the time is up, open the lid of the pot, take out the steamed cake, cut it into small pieces and serve.
