Homemade puff pastry recipe

I believe many people are familiar with oily shortbread, especially for people living in the northern region, oily shortbread is a particularly popular food. There are many ways to make puff pastry cakes. Of course, some people choose to buy some ingredients and make puff pastry cakes at home. Below, I will introduce three methods of making puff pastry for your reference!

1. How to make shortcrust cake

1. Stir-fry the pastry: first warm the oil, add the noodles and sugar, and simmer over low heat. Keep frying until the noodles turn yellow, then turn off the heat. Because I make it often, I can adjust the amount of oil, sugar and flour just by feeling. I'm not as careful as when I use other people's recipes. I'll summarize it later. Anyway, the flour I make is relatively thin, which makes it easier to handle.

2. Knead the dough: The dough should be softer, softer than the dough for toast. After the sugar rises, knead it until the dough is smooth. There is no need to knead it until it expands.

3. How to handle the large dough: Roll the dough into a round cake, about 5mm thick, spread the fried crispy candies on the cake, roll the dough into a roll, and pinch the two ends tightly.

4. How to handle small dough: Divide the rolled dough into several portions, and pinch the two ends of each portion of dough tightly to prevent oil leakage.

5. Roll out the dough: lightly press each small piece of dough and gently roll it into a 5mm thick cake.

6. Baking: Heat the pancake maker and adjust the heat to medium-low. Do not put oil in the pan, but make sure the inside of the pan is smooth, or just rub it with oil. Put the rolled pancake into the pan and turn it over after a while. When both sides are slightly hard and yellow, add a little more oil and turn it over a few times.

2. Method 2 of the oily shortbread

1. Add water, salt and baking powder to flour.

2. Knead the dough, knead it vigorously for about 5 minutes, cover it with plastic wrap and let it ferment.

3. Prepare 56 grams of vegetable oil and 70 grams of flour

4. Heat oil in a pan and add flour.

5. Take out the fried flour and let it cool for later use.

Mix 6.16 grams of flour and 70 grams of sugar and set aside.

7. Let the dough rise until it doubles in size.

8. Remove the exhaust gas and divide it into two large portions for later use.

9. Take a dough and roll it out.

10. Apply a layer of pastry. It doesn’t matter if it is not applied evenly, as you will need to roll it out later.

11. Roll it up, try to roll it as tight as possible.

12. Roll the dough vertically and press down.

13. Flatten it, cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 5 minutes.

14. Open it up slightly and put the filling in the middle.

15. Make sure to tighten the opening to prevent the stuffing from leaking.

16. Turn it upside down and let it rest for 5 minutes.

17. After rolling the pancakes, let the dough rest for a while and start preheating the electric baking pan.

18. Brush a layer of oil on the electric baking pan, put in the dough, and brush another layer of oil on the surface of the dough.

19. Close the lid of the electric baking pan and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

20. When the time is up, open the lid of the pot and take out the sugar cake!

3. Method 3 of the oily shortbread

First mix the sugar filling: brown sugar + flour + white sesame seeds. The amount depends on the size of the prepared dough. The brown sugar is mixed with flour to prevent the sugar filling from flowing out when eating, and the white sesame seeds are just the icing on the cake.

Here is the secret: put oil in the pan, heat it slightly, add flour, fry until crispy and golden brown, then serve and let cool for later use.

Add some warm water when kneading the dough so that the pancake will be soft. Roll the dough into a large pancake, put the freshly fried shortbread on top, spread the shortbread evenly with a pancake wrapper, knead it into a large piece, and then roll it into small pancake wrappers.

Put an appropriate amount of brown sugar filling in the small biscuit skin.

Seal the mouth and flatten it into a pancake. Don't let the cat out of the bag!

Add oil to a hot pan and fry the sugar pancakes. Don’t fry them for too long, or they will get burnt!
