The specific steps for making hand pies are as follows
★Materials
The ingredients needed to make hand pies are very simple, just flour, oil and salt. I used 300 grams of flour and made 6 small cakes, enough for a family of three.
300 grams of flour, the right amount of oil, the right amount of salt.
★Specific process
(1) put 300 grams of flour into the pot, add 2 grams of salt and mix well, the flour into two, half with 80 grams of hot water and flour (boiling hot water, a little bit of cooling almost 90 degrees or so), add in three times, add the side of the mix, stirring, stirring it into flocculent, the other half of the flour with 80 grams of cold water and flour, the same first stirred into the flocculent, and then underhandedly put them into a smooth dough. The other half of the flour is mixed with 80g of cold water, also mixed into a flocculent, and then kneaded into a smooth dough, molasses for ten minutes and set aside.
(2) take advantage of the gap in the molasses, let's do the shortening: shortening to do a little thin into the running water, the bowl into 20 grams of flour, 40 grams of oil (more crispy effect is best to use lard, no lard at home on the use of our usual oil will be fine) in a pot of cooking until you want to smoke, while hot, poured into the flour, and quickly stirred until fine and uniform standby.
(2) ten minutes later, put the dough on the board, kneaded again, kneaded into a long strip, I and the flour is less, so there is no separation of the dough, and then in the dough evenly brushed with a layer of oil, continue molasses half an hour standby, the dough brushed with oil, not only can lock the dough moisture, but also to enhance the dough's malleability.
(3)Grease the board, put the molten dough on the board, roll it directly into long strips, and then divide it into 6 even-sized doses, the size of this dose can also be divided according to their own preferences, but make sure to make the cake thin and not too thick to be good, because the pancake will have to be rolled again with other ingredients, and thin and multilayered and sinewy to be tasty.
(4) divided into good dose, with hands dipped in oil to it in turn ball into a round, take a dose of dough, with the hands of the press to flatten, pressed into a rectangle, this time you will find that molasses good dough malleability is very strong, not cracked constantly very soft, so it is very easy to press it open, with a rolling pin it rolled into a rectangular large sheet of dough, this time to scoop up a spoonful of prepared shortening, with the hands of the uniform, sprinkle a little salt, and then Lift the sheet, using the folding fan way, layer by layer folded down to become a multi-layer rectangular strip, then tug one end with your hand, while stretching it with your hand, gently roll it from one end to the other, don't be too hard, roll it loosely, and finally hide the end under the cake embryo, so a complete cake embryo is ready, after all the cakes are ready, cover and then molasses for five minutes.
(5) molten cake embryo with a rolling pin to roll it out, rolled into a round pancake, such a pancake embryo at home you can do some more, with plastic wrap, separated from one another stacked into the refrigerator, frozen storage, you want to eat a hand pie time, you can take out two or three minutes to cook a sheet, as you use it, very convenient.
(6) pan or electric cake pan brush oil preheating, put the rolled out pancakes into the beginning of cooking, because the cake is relatively thin, one side of a minute and a half or so can be fried into a golden brown, both sides of the frying golden and crispy can be taken out of the plate, cooked hand-cooked cakes crunchy multi-layer, brush on the sauce, rolled up on their favorite ingredients that are even more perfect.
