Water chestnut powder can be bought in the supermarket or vegetable market, pay attention to buy a little more pure, the purer the water chestnut powder, the more delicious water chestnut cake made.
Put the hooves into a plastic bag and crack them with a rolling pin.
With this method, the juice inside will not be wasted, and the flavor of the hooves will be stronger.
Make a slurry by adding 750ml of water to 250g of hoof meal and mix until there are no grains. The pliability of the cake is controlled by the ratio of water to hoof meal. More water will not solidify easily, less water will make the cake harder.
Next, pour 250 grams of sugar into a pot, put 750 milliliters of water, and turn on the heat to melt the sugar.
After the sugar is completely melted, add the water chestnuts and cook for 2 minutes, then reduce the heat and pour 100g of the powdered water into the sugar water, stirring well until the water chestnuts become sticky and the color becomes more and more transparent.
Then cool the sugar paste a bit and pour it into the rest of the batter. Mixing the batter and the sugar water in two batches like this will make the water mix more evenly, so that it won't be soft on the top and hard on the bottom when you steam it.
Mix the batter again until it is well blended, and then it is ready to be steamed.
Brush a layer of oil around the bowl and pour in the batter.
Place the batter in the steamer for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, stick chopsticks into the matzoh cake, and no mucus sticks to the chopsticks, it means the matzoh cake is cooked.
After the cakes have cooled, unmold them and brush the knives with oil to prevent them from sticking.
Slice the cake, which is now ready to eat, and fry it to make it more flavorful.
Heat the pan over high heat, put a little oil in it, turn the heat to medium-low, and then put the horseshoe cake into the pan to fry.
The bottom side becomes golden brown, turn over and continue to fry, about 1-2 minutes, pan-fried horseshoe cake can be out of the pot.
The golden brown crust is covered with a crystal clear cake, and the inside is still hiding the cloven hooves, which makes your mouth water just by looking at it.
Take a bite, fragrant, sweet, crisp and crunchy, the outer layer of caramelized flavor, the inside of the Q Q, chewing can still feel the crisp hoof particles, it is really great~
