Since the child is older, I feel that time is really flying. A few days ago when my husband returned to his hometown, my mother-in-law brought us zong leaves and glutinous rice. I was surprised that it was going to be the Dragon Boat Festival again! One and a half years passed!

On the Dragon Boat Festival, every family must eat rice dumplings, but in our hometown, there is a small dessert that must be eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival, that is, horseshoe cake. After the Dragon Boat Festival, the climate gradually becomes hotter and appetite will decrease. At this time, eating more horseshoes can relieve heat and detoxify, which is very good for the body.
The shape of the horseshoe cake is small and exquisite, the taste is delicate and Q-bomb, it melts in the mouth, and the fragrance is full of aftertaste. It is a small snack that adults and children like to eat.

Around the Dragon Boat Festival, the streets are full of horseshoe cakes, but they are not as safe as the homemade ones, and the various pastries on the market always feel too sweet to eat. For the health of your family, learn to do it yourself. The mung bean cake made by myself is definitely better than the one I bought.
Horseshoe cake is one of the most popular Cantonese desserts in the tea house. Every time you go to the tea house, the family’s favorite dessert is this Cantonese horseshoe cake. The steamed horseshoe cake can be eaten directly. The sweet and refreshing taste is the most refreshing. Another way to eat it is to fry the horseshoe cake so that it is crispy on the outside and tender and smooth on the inside. It is satisfying when you eat it. Today, Meimei will record the practice of horseshoe cake in detail. If you have time, you can try it at home. Oh! If you like horseshoes, you can add 20% as much as you like.

3. Pass the mixed paste through a sieve, and there are finely crushed particles at the bottom, which can be crushed by hand.

4. Peel the horseshoe, wash and cut into small pellets for later use.

5. Add brown sugar to the water in the auxiliary ingredients and cook until melted.

6. After the brown sugar water has melted, turn off the heat, mix the prepared powder slurry, scoop about 30 grams, mix with the horseshoe powder slurry and mix well.

7. Then pour it back into the raw powder slurry, and while pouring it, use a whisk to mix it evenly. It must be stirred quickly and continuously to prevent the horseshoe powder slurry from agglomerating, and it should be a translucent paste when it is blanched.

8. Try to scoop it up with a whisk, and the paste is just in a thick state that is not easy to disperse after dripping into the basin.

9. Pour the horseshoe pellets into the powder slurry, mix well, and let the horseshoe pellets fully fuse with the raw powder slurry.

10. Take the container you like, brush the oil on the bottom to prevent sticking, pour the slurry into the container, put it in the steamer, and steam it on high heat for about 25 minutes. The size of the fire varies from one family to another, and the thickness of the slurry is different, so steam The time is flexible.

11. If you don’t have a container, just use a plate, or cut into pieces after steaming.

12. The steamed horseshoe paste becomes darker in color, and the surface is solidified. Pressing it with your hand means it is fully cooked. It can be demoulded after it is let cool. It is delicious when eaten hot and cold. Let it cool and eat it more quickly. Put it in the refrigerator for an hour or two in summer to refresh and relieve the heat. Healthier than ice cream.
You can eat it directly after it is steamed. If you like to eat it hot, it can be fried with a little bit. The sides are a little bit crispy and very delicious.

After the flour paste is adjusted, the horseshoe cake is basically 80% successful. According to the proportion, basically it will not fail.
