Cooking Steps
Step1:This is the big pumpkin from express delivery. It's old and heavy. It took a lot of effort to cut it. Then it's washed and cut into suitable sizes. It's steamed in the pot. Because it's too hard. It's not peeled. It's steamed in the pot directl
Step2:Steamed pumpkin peeled and ground into pumpkin mud
Step3:Dry cranberries and blackcurrants, clean and dry
Step4:Prepare flour according to the proportion of 3 parts of low gluten flour and 2 parts of ordinary flour for use; see the figure for other ingredients.
Step5:Pour all flour (250g in total) into pumpkin puree
Step6:Add 5g dry yeast
Step7:Pour in the right amount of milk ~ ~ the so-called right amount. It's added according to the water content of pumpkin. The difference is very big, so it can't be quantified.
Step8:It's difficult to pick up the final dough in this state with a scraper. It's a thick batter. This pumpkin has more starch and flour. So I added about 100g milk. But I used it once with a high water content. Almost no milk was added. I used 500g pumpkin mud directly to adjust it to this state, so it's important to add it appropriately.
Step9:Put a layer of oiled paper on the bottom cake mould buckle. Brush a layer of oil on the inner layer of the mould for demoulding
Step10:Take half of the dough and spread it evenly on the bottom
Step11:Spread the cranberries and blackcurrants evenly
Step12:Cover the other half of the dough
Step13:Dip the scraper with a little milk (because the open box of milk is not used up) or water to smooth the surface. Cover it and let it stand and ferment to twice the size (about 1 hour)
Step14:The space waiting for fermentation. Cut the washed jujube in half and remove the jujube core for use
Step15:One hour or so. The noodles are ready. Arrange and press the prepared dates on the surface
Step16:The steamer should be filled with enough cold water. Put the prepared cake into the steamer. Heat the steamer until the water boils and steams for 40 minutes.
Step17:Turn off the fire. Wait five minutes before opening the lid. Take out the demoulding and put it on the grill to dry until the hot steam is exhauste
Step18:Soft and elastic.
Step19:Cut into the shape you like
Step20:The inner tissue is very sticky.
Step21:There's no sugar in the dough itself. But the sweetness of dates, cranberries and blackcurrants is enough. The true taste of natural food materials. It's sweet to my heart.
Cooking tips:1. The common cake is made of corn flour and common flour. Here, the low gluten flour is used instead of corn flour. The taste is more delicate and soft; 2. As long as the water or milk is added properly, the softness of the cake will be very palatable. There is no need to add baking powder at all. 3. The evaporated cake should be steamed with cold water, and then timed after steaming. Because the whole mold is directly steamed, and the middle is airtight, it can be cooked only after steaming for more than 40 minutes. The water in the steamer must be enough to prevent the boiler from drying... 4. After steaming, turn off the heat. Don't open the lid of the pot immediately. Simmer for 5 minutes to prevent the steamed cake from shrinking suddenly. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
