A Must-have Pumpkin Cake for New Year's Eve
1.
Prepare an appropriate amount of pumpkin, cut into sections, peeled, washed, and steamed in a pot. The pumpkin can be easily inserted through with chopsticks and it is ready to be steamed. Pour out the excess pumpkin soup in the bowl, mash the pumpkin into a puree while it is hot, and set it aside until warm.
2.
The glutinous rice flour needs 150 grams, and I used 80 grams of corn starch this time, but it feels a bit dry. I communicated with the kitchen friends and found that 40 grams of corn starch is also useful, so I recommend 60 grams for this amount. Use 40 grams of white sugar, this amount is suitable for sweetness. If the elderly in the family have diabetes or are not suitable for eating sweets, use xylitol instead.
3.
Add 200-220 grams of pumpkin filling. There is no fixed amount for this flower. Because the pumpkin has a large water content, there are a little bit of difference in kneading each time, and everyone is in control. It is recommended to make the dough slightly harder, more plastic, and not too sticky.
4.
Stir slowly with chopsticks until the flour has become lumpy, then start kneading the dough. At the same time, prepare some fillings. Huaer has used red bean paste and peanut butter. If it is eaten for the elderly, it will be delicious if you put less fillings in the middle (it is especially sweet with osmanthus sugar) or leave it alone.
5.
After the dough is kneaded, it is equally divided into small doughs of about 25 grams. This does not need to be fermented, and the pumpkin pie can be made immediately after the dough is made. Isn't it particularly simple?
6.
If you want to make a vivid pumpkin, you only need a toothpick to do it. Knead the dough by hand, wrap an appropriate amount of filling, completely wrap the filling, knead it into a small ball shape, and press it flat by hand.
7.
Press the toothpick to make 3 marks on the surface of the pumpkin pie, and press them deeper, otherwise they will become blurred when steamed.
8.
After pressing the front side, start to squeeze inward along the indentation on the side, and then rub it with your hands.
9.
Finally, make a melon stalk on the top, using medlar, lemon peel, and raisins.
10.
After all the pumpkin pie is done, put it in the cage. It should be noted here: do not use gauze as the bottom, preferably oil cloth or oil paper. Steamed glutinous rice will be sticky. Ordinary gauze will stick to the bottom of the pumpkin pie and it is difficult to remove it.
11.
Steam in a pot on cold water for 8 minutes. That's right, it's cold water, it only takes 8 minutes. The golden pumpkin pie is ready!
12.
This amount can make about 20 pumpkin biscuits for a family, and the amount is just right.
