This lotus leaf cake is nutritious, coarse grain fine processing, healthy and delicious. Very good breakfast, you can casually with fried eggs, meat, vegetables. Especially delicious! 250 grams of plain flour, 80 grams of buckwheat flour, 4 grams of yeast, 2 tablespoons of milk powder, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, about 250 milliliters of pure milk. Mix buckwheat flour and medium gluten flour, melt the yeast in warm water, add warm water, mix with chopsticks to form a flocculent dough, then knead it into a smooth dough, cover with plastic wrap, put it in a warm place, and let it ferment until it doubles in size, dip your fingers into the dry flour and poke it. If it doesn't shrink or collapse, it's ready. Knead the dough, vent, divide evenly into 8 doses, take one dose, roll it out into a long strip or circle, and brush the surface with corn oil.
Fold in half and use a clean comb or the back of a toothy knife (mine happened to have teeth) to press out the pattern. The pattern should be pressed y to avoid flattening the pattern after the second fermentation. Place in a steamer basket, do not turn on the heat, cover and ferment until 1.5 times its size. Usually ferment for about 20 minutes at room temperature around 20 degrees. (If the temperature is too low, heat the water in the steamer to about 45 degrees, then turn off the heat and cover.) Turn off the heat and steam for 12 minutes. Don't rush to open the lid after turning off the heat, let it simmer for 5 minutes before opening the lid.

You can't add more buckwheat flour, or the lotus leaf cake will break from the root due to lack of toughness. If you want that soft and sticky texture, it is best to use plain white flour to make hoecakes.
