Should I use hot water or cold water to make dumplings and noodles?

Noodles have always been very popular, because as a traditional snack, noodles are not only high in nutritional value, but also very popular in taste. The flour used for making dumplings must be from cold water river, because you don't need to scald the dough when making dumplings, so you can't use too hot water, you can use warm water, but the water temperature can't be too cold, otherwise the dough will become hard.

So should we use hot water or cold water to make the dough for pancakes?

Knead the dough with warm water: Use warm water when kneading the dough, so that the dough will be soft and elastic.

Kneading dough with cold water: If the water is too cold, the dough will become hard.

The hot water and noodle water were too hot, and the noodles were cooked.

So it is best to use warm water. After the dough is kneaded, let it sit for 30 minutes. This process is commonly known as "waking up" in the north. The purpose is to allow the flour to fully and evenly absorb water. If you bake the pancake immediately after kneading the dough, the pancake will have lumps.

How can I prevent pancakes from sticking to the pan? There is no adjustment button when making pancakes in an electric frying pan, so it is easy to burn the pancakes. Using an electric rice cooker to make pancakes will easily make the pancakes dry and difficult to cook, so you have to use special pancake-making utensils, but you have to master the heat to make delicious pancakes.

1. Don’t turn the stove too high

2. Put vegetable oil in the bottom of the pot

3. The pancake should be turned over frequently at the bottom of the pan, and you can't be distracted.

4. When kneading the dough, add some lard and eggs;

5. Use boiling water to knead the dough and the pancake will be soft.

6. It is necessary to brush the surface of the dough with oil before putting it in the pan;

7. After taking it out of the pot, put it in a pot and cover it to prevent water from evaporating.
