Cooking machine or scrubber 1

Homemade lotus root powder practice ?

Select the old lotus root with thick color and deep holes, the starch is high.

Prepare water in the container, peel and slice the lotus root or cut into pieces and soak to prevent oxidation and discoloration. The machine add lotus root slices and soaked lotus root slices of water to beat into lotus root pulp. (If you don't have a machine, use a spatula to rub the lotus root into the container of water, and then strain it after rubbing it repeatedly with your hands.)

Strain the root pulp twice through a gauze bag with clean water, or through a fine powder sieve if you don't have a gauze bag. Settle for 3 hours and strain out the root starch.

Skim the water off the surface, leaving the starch at the bottom of the sediment. Transfer to a large baking dish or other dry container. Spread in a thin layer, the larger the area the better, it dries quickly. If the surface is watery, use kitchen paper or paper towels to gently absorb the water.

Sun-drying, baking can be. Oven baking hot air mode, high temperature oven, slightly open the oven door with the lowest temperature baking. The temperature inside the oven is about 35 degrees.

Surface drying or baking crumbled, put at room temperature to dry naturally or bake until no moisture.

Finally, use a stone scoop, rolling pin, grinder, whatever you can do to break it into powder. You don't need to go for a particularly fine powder, just crush the larger particles. When you finally eat it, you have to dissolve it in water first, and then use boiling water or cool water to cook it, but it is just to save time. Of course it's still convenient to make it into powder haha.

The pure natural lotus root powder has no raw flour flavor and is as sweet as spring water!

Tips

Because of the amount of work done, it is not recommended to use a juicer, soy milk machine to beat the lotus root milk, the power is small, time-consuming and inefficient. A section of lotus root is almost 1 pound, if you use a large scrubber, in fact, very quickly.
