Horseshoe cake is one of the traditional desserts in Guangdong. Steamed with water chestnut powder mixed with syrup. Water chestnut, also called horseshoe in Cantonese, hence the name. Its color is tea-yellow, translucent, can be folded without cracking, squeezing and continuous, soft, smooth, refreshing, tough, and very sweet. The horseshoe flour box has instructions on how to make the flour paste, but according to the above method, we failed to do it twice. Later, we slowly figured out the skills and made it successfully. The crystal clear horseshoe cake has a refreshing taste and sweetness. , Delicious, very good!
