What is the complete recipe for Osmanthus Cake?

There are many foods in our lives that make people feel reluctant to leave. After eating them once, they want to eat them again and can’t stop eating them. On the contrary, they will feel very uncomfortable if they don’t eat them for a period of time. It’s just like Malatang. Although sometimes we know that this kind of food may have safety risks, we just like the taste and can’t help it. Osmanthus cake will also give people such a feeling, so what is the method of making osmanthus cake?

1. Make cooked flour: Steam the flour in a steamer (20 minutes). Take it out and cool it down, then grind it into fine powder using a grinder. That is mature powder.

2. Making cake flour: Wash glutinous rice with 50-60℃ warm water for 4-5 minutes, scoop it up and spread it in a winnowing basket to drain the water. The next day, fry it with river sand (river sand made with vegetable oil) (not fried until yellow), and then grind it into powder with an electric grinder, which is cake flour (also called male flour). Spread the cake flour on the winnowing basket for 2-3 days, and use your hands to knead the flour into a ball without it falling apart.

3. Make sugar extract: Add 2-2.5 kg of maltose and 7.5 kg of water to 50 kg of white sugar. After boiling, add 1 kg of melted oil and simmer until the temperature reaches about 120℃. When the sugar liquid can form lumps when dropped into water, you can scoop it up and put it into an ice pot and stir it until it becomes sandy. This is sugar extract.

4. Make the filling: Mix the white sugar, cooked flour, cooked oil cake flour and honey osmanthus evenly according to the ingredients, sieve to remove impurities, and the filling is ready.

5. Potting and shaping: using wooden frames. First, put 1/5 of the mixed base and facings into the frame, use a thin layer as the base, put the heart in the middle, and then use 4/5 of the base and facings to make the cake skin, flatten it, press it tightly, cut it into rectangular strips with a thin knife, and then package it.
