Preparation method

1. To make winter melon filling, choose old winter melon that has been covered with dust, peel and remove the seeds, steam it in a steamer, take it out and blend it in a blender, then wrap it in gauze and squeeze out the water, put it in a hot pan with a little lard, add sugar and stir-fry continuously, then add a certain amount of starch depending on how dry or thin it is, to make it thicker, finally add cooked melon seeds, cooked sesame seeds, etc. and mix well, remove from the pan and let it cool to make the winter melon filling. Of course, you can also use winter melon candy instead of winter melon puree to make the filling, which is even simpler to make: mash the winter melon candy into puree, then rub it together with lard and Chaozhou powder (fried glutinous rice flour), and finally add cooked melon seeds, cooked sesame seeds, etc. and mix well.

2. The crust of wife cake is made of shortcrust pastry, which is composed of oil core and water-oil skin. The water-oil dough is made from 450 grams of low-gluten flour, 100 grams of high-gluten flour, 7 grams of baking powder, 1 egg, 10 grams of lard, and an appropriate amount of water; while the oil core is made from 450 grams of low-gluten flour, 350 grams of butter, and 550 grams of lard.

3. The crust for stuffing and baking is made using the small puff pastry method. Take a small piece of water-oil crust, wrap a small piece of oil core, flatten it and roll it into an ox tongue shape. Then roll it from the outside to the inside into a cylinder, flatten it, fold it into three layers, and finally roll it into a round piece. Then you can stuff it. The wrapped cake dough should also be pressed into a flat round shape, and two small cuts should be made on it with a knife (mainly to prevent the skin from breaking due to the expansion of the filling during baking). Then brush it with egg liquid, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes. The fragrant wife cake is ready.
