The wife cake with a long history has appeared in Hong Kong opera for a long time, and it's only delicious if it's Yuen Long. But what I made was delicious. I didn't want to eat greasy cakes just after the Spring Festival, so I used vegetable oil to make them. A lot of people think that only the skin and pastry made of lard will be crispy. But I have personally used butter, sunflower seed oil, corn oil and pumpkin seed oil to make Chinese pastry of pastry. The taste is still crispy without any difference. But I don't like the taste of lard either. Generally, the sagging of wife's cake contains glutinous rice flour. But some people will also add some wax gourd paste. Because I want to eat it temporarily, I didn't go out to buy it. I made it with some materials. In fact, there is no big difference in the taste without adding wax gourd. The wife cake originated from a Chinese snack in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province. It has an attractive golden skin; layers of crispy pastry are as thin as cotton paper. One bite off the crispy crumbs. And every bite tastes sweet

Step4:Refrigerate for 30 minutes after cooling.
Step5:Prepare the materials for making the dough. Add warm water to the water and oil skin. Reserve 1015g of water to avoid excessive moisture; then mix the materials evenly by hand. The material of the oil skin is also evenly mixed. Leave both for 20 minutes.
Step6:In 20 minutes, divide the tare into six pieces. Each dough is 30 grams. The pastry is also divided into six pieces, each pastry is 15 grams. The cold storage sink is taken out from the refrigerator and divided into six pieces, each of which is 20g. Knead them into a circle.
