In fact, the traditional method of lotus cake is deep-frying. After low-temperature frying, it can not only maintain the white skin, but also make the layers layered, more like lotus flowers blooming just right. But since we are people who love baking, the oven is indispensable. Such Chinese dim sum, baked in a way, is actually more suitable for a table with big fish and meat. The lard used this time is more crispy than butter, which is also a traditional method.
