I made this batch of bean paste cakes to give to a good friend of my mother. This is the first time someone outside of my family has tasted my work. I feel a little nervous. I hope this aunt likes it. Food cooks can hear the three words "really delicious", that is the greatest relief, no matter how hard they work, they won't care.

The method of lotus cake is basically the same as that of bean paste cake, but in the end there is a little change, and the taste is the same. It is purely the pursuit of diversity in shape. This is the first time I have done it. As for whether it looks like a lotus flower, please keep your opinions.

Lotus Cake

1. Mix the oil noodles into a dough, cover with plastic wrap and wake up for 15 minutes.

2. Mix the water and oil noodles into a dough, cover with plastic wrap and wake up for 15 minutes.

3. Divide the two types of noodles into small portions of the same size.

4. Take a portion of the water and oily skin, roll it into thin slices, and wrap the shortbread.

5. Press down to flatten the seal.

6. Roll into a beef tongue shape.

7. Roll into a roll, cover with plastic wrap and wake up for 15 minutes.

8. Roll into a beef tongue shape.

9. Roll up again. Cover with plastic wrap and wake up for another 15 minutes.

10. Gather the two sides of the dough roll toward the middle, and then squeeze it.

11. Roll out into thin slices.

12. Put in the ball-shaped bean paste filling.

13. Wrap it like a bun with a tight seal.

14. Put it on the baking tray and brush with the egg yolk liquid. Cut out 6 or 8 petals on the surface.

15. After preheating the oven at 180 degrees, bake for 20 minutes.

Tips:
1. It should be better to cut the petals with a knife. I cut them a bit irregularly with scissors.

2. Pay attention to the color when baking, and the baking time is controlled according to the performance of your own oven.
