Authentic northern pie recipe

Pie is a very popular snack in the north, and the materials and methods used to make pies vary in different regions and cities. But the same thing is that they all taste good. When eating pie, you can eat both noodles and vegetables, so the pie is not only delicious, but also nutritious and balanced. Below, I will introduce in detail the method of making authentic northern pie for your reference!

1. Ingredients needed:

Ingredients: 500g all-purpose flour, 200ml boiling water, 180ml cold water, 2g salt

Filling: 300g purple sweet potato, 50g sugar

2. Production steps:

1. Put the weighed flour in a clean bowl, add salt and mix well. Add 200 ml of boiling water and stir half of the flour with chopsticks until it becomes loose. Then add 180 ml of cold water and stir the remaining half of the dough until it becomes loose. Then use your hands to knead the dough until it is "three-glossy", namely, the surface is shiny, the basin is shiny, and the hands are shiny. Sprinkle some dry flour on the surface of the kneaded dough, cover with plastic wrap and let it relax for 5 minutes.

2. Wash and peel the purple sweet potatoes, steam them in a pot in advance, add sugar to the steamed purple sweet potatoes, and use a spoon to mash them into purple sweet potato puree for later use.

3. Divide the relaxed dough into 9 portions and roll them into smooth circles.

4. Take a piece of dough, flatten it with your hands, and slowly shape it into the desired size. Add purple sweet potato puree to seal the dough, sprinkle some dry flour on the work table, place the dough with the seam facing down, and flatten the dough with your hands again. Press gently to avoid using too much force and breaking the dough, and slowly shape it into a round shape.

5. Heat the pan and add oil, fry slowly over medium-low heat. Turn the pancake over after frying for a while, and turn it over frequently. During the frying process, observe the color of the pancake at any time and adjust the size of the fire in time. Remove from the pan when both sides are golden brown. Do not fry it for too long, otherwise the crust will become hard.
