Thousand-layer hair cakes are beautiful in shape and soft in layers. I remember that it was a few years ago when I first ate the thousand-layer rice cake. At that time, I accompanied my old father in the hospital. When it was time for dinner, I went to the restaurant and saw the attractive rice cake. I prefer noodles and want to enjoy life in a different way. I have been looking for it several times on the Internet in the past two days, and I have found Sichuan snacks, Melaleuca Faguo, and the practice is different. From my memory, I combined the two methods and made the thousand layer hair cake that I am more satisfied with. Just because there are many layers, I will call it Qian layer hair cake. I won’t say whether I’m a professional or not, after all, I’m successful the first time I learn to do it.

Ingredients

200g Flour
100g Cornmeal (yellow)
2 tsp Vegetable Oil
2 tsp Sugar
1 teaspoon Yeast
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
Some Water

(This step can be folded into a square one more time), add water to the steamer, put the dough into the steamer, and cover the pot for 15 minutes; after the fire is boiled, count the time 20 minutes, turn off the heat and simmer for 5 minutes

7. Melaleuca pudding is out of the pot, let it cool and cut it into a shape you like, then you can serve it on the plate.

Tips:
1. The dough must be soft and the dough must be kneaded thoroughly;
2. The dough must be rolled out, so that there are relatively many layers;
3. Friends who like sweets can put a layer of raisins and candied fruits on top of the hair cake.
