17. Take another piece of 15g small dough to make a long cone, take two small pieces of 5g dough, knead and press flat

18. The long cone is cut at the tip end with scissors to make the nose, and the top is cut with scissors to cut out the broken edges

19. After the bottom of the component is brushed with water, install it on the nose of the little tiger, and tie out the nostrils with a bamboo stick. The disc is installed on the eyes, and the black beans smeared with water are used to make the eyes.

20. Divide the remaining dough into two portions, one portion, rub 2 small spindles and press flat

21. The other round is pressed flat and cut from the middle. The bottom bends inward as the ears of the little tiger

23. Brush the bottom of the finished tiger head with water and install it on the bristles of the front neck of the body

24. The finished green tiger cub is covered and proofed for 20 minutes, and the surface is brushed with a layer of egg yolk liquid. Put it in a steamer and steam for 20 minutes.

25. Take out the steamed tiger cubs, put them in the preheated oven 180 and bake them for 10 minutes until the surface is colored.

Tips:

1. The better the dough is kneaded, the smoother the surface of the finished product will be, and the dough should be harder and better shaped.

2. The final roasting can make the skin of the little tiger golden, and the taste will be better and more beautiful.

3. Cover with a damp cloth during the operation to prevent the dough from drying out
