There are two main methods of making pastry, namely, large pastry and small pastry. The amount of homemade pastry is relatively small. It is suitable for small pastry that is a little more complicated, but easy to operate. The taste of small pastry is also better.

Separately make water and oil crust and shortcrust pastry, divide them into small portions, wrap the shortcrust pastry in the water and oil crust, roll twice to make a pastry, wrap it with your favorite filling, and bake it.

The so-called oily crust refers to the dough made by adding a small amount of oil, sugar and appropriate amount of water to the flour; the shortcrusting refers to the dough made by mixing only flour and oil. If you are proficient, you can use the same amount of flour to mix with the water, oil and pastry. If you are not confident, you can reduce the amount of flour in the pastry. It is best to use low-gluten flour for the pastry, which has better shortening and the ratio of powder to oil. It is 2:1.

Regardless of whether it is water oil or pastry, the use of lard will result in a better shortening effect and a crisper taste, and it is more in line with the traditional production methods of Chinese desserts. If you can't buy lard, you can make it yourself (see here), it's very simple. Of course, you have to pay attention to choosing high-quality lard oil to make it, so you can rest assured and taste more authentic.

As for the filling, my family loves jujube puree the most. Homemade jujube puree is much more secure than the purchased one. It is not only real materials, but also clean and hygienic, but it is a little troublesome. There are many ways to make jujube puree. I usually cook the jujube, peel it and remove the pit, then add a little oil and sugar to dry it. The jujube paste made in this way has a very delicate texture. This time I made jujube puree, I used pure brown sugar from Taiwan, which is the "Frosted Mingxue Hundred Billion Trees". The result is nourishment. The color is very dark, the taste is good, and it is very authentic. It is the best I have ever made The jujube mashed.

Of course, the cost of dim sum is even higher.

However, it’s the Chinese New Year, and this is not a “luxury”-let’s have a good time! "
