The first choice for pastry is lard. Of course, the lard you boil is the best. Novices can do it in half.
Step1:The lard bought from the vegetable market. The white soft one on the left. The red one with blood on the right. Of course, if you can't buy the one on the left, you can also buy the one on the right. It's just a little bit worse. Be sure to use lard. Don't know how to ask the boss. Fat pork is not well oiled. Buy good oil even if it's expensive. The quality of the refined oil is different.
Step2:Don't dry the oil after it is washed with water. It's not afraid of water. Then cut into small pieces about two to three centimeters long and wide. Be sure not to be lazy. Try to cut it evenly. Then put it into the pot. At the same time, pour the water into the pot. Turn on the maximum heat. When boiling, the oil and water will mix and appear milky white. As shown in the picture.
Step3:When the milky white disappears, the oil gradually becomes transparent. At this time, it can be boiled slowly. As shown in the figure.
Step4:I saw that there was more oil coming out. I dug it out with a spoon. Put a stainless steel utensil next to it. Put a strainer on it. The oil is filtered into the vessel. Dig out the oil as you go. Try not to let too much oil in the pot. Prevent the oil from getting old.
Step5:Oil refining can be stopped in this way. Because if you keep practicing, the oil will turn black. If you want white and delicate oil, don't be afraid to waste it.
Step6:The oil just boiled is as clear as water. As white as snow after solidification. When the oil is done, you can put the sugar in it. Just stir it casually. It's mainly for deodorization.
Step7:It doesn't look like snow after crystallization.
