Many traditional dim sums in China, in terms of shape and variety, are always not as diverse and as dazzling as they are. Comparing it with the delicate and beautiful Western-style cakes, it immediately looked a little bit ashamed. In terms of calories, these traditional desserts are not inferior to Western-style pastries at all. They are all oil and sugar in turn, even worse. For example, today's honey three knives not only need to be fried first, but also soaked in thick syrup and coated with "honey juice." Thinking about it is a sin. Despite these and other shortcomings, traditional dim sum has always had loyal supporters. Because nothing can match the taste of these snacks in our memory. Sakima, my favorite food when I was young, how could I forget it when I grew up? People's taste preferences have been established since childhood. Therefore, the Saqima, Zilaihong, Wife Cake, and Jujube Cakes in my blog are often more popular than Western-style pastries, which is not surprising.
Misandao is a dim sum that I like very much. It is one of the few traditional dim sums that I haven't eaten when I was a child but I still fall in love with it as soon as I eat it. In many cases, Misandao is regarded as a famous specialty in Beijing, but Misandao is not unique to Beijing, and can be seen in many places across the country. After hundreds of years of spreading, the shape and method of Misandao keep changing, and there are many differences. What I posted today is my favorite honey three knives that I eat the most on weekdays. I recommend it to everyone.

Ingredients

Misan Knife

1. First, knead all the ingredients of the leather together to form a dough. Then knead all the ingredients of the pastry together to form a dough. Let the two doughs rest for 15 minutes. According to the water absorption of flour and the consistency of maltose, the amount of water in the formula should be increased or decreased according to the actual situation, based on kneading into a smooth and soft dough; roll the rested leather dough into thin slices; the short dough dough Roll out into pieces of the same size as the leather dough; dip the brush in water, and brush a layer of water on the leather dough; place the crisp dough on the leather dough to make the two sticks tightly; on the surface of the crisp dough Sprinkle an appropriate amount of white sesame seeds (the amount is according to personal preference, or not to sprinkle). Then roll it out into a sheet with a thickness of about 0.8CM. Try to roll it into a rectangle

2. The rolled dough, cut off the irregular corners, and cut into 2CM wide strips; then cut the strips into 2CM*3CM long squares; use a knife to make three knives on each small square, but do not cut through ; Then make syrup. Pour the caster sugar, water, and maltose into the pot and heat it over a low heat until it boils and thick foam appears. Turn off the heat and serve as syrup; pour peanut oil into the pot and heat it to 170°C, put the small cubes in the oil, and fry until golden brown to remove; drain the fried honey with three knives, and immediately soak in the hot syrup , Make it evenly coated with a layer of syrup, remove it and place it on a plate, and it will be the finished product after it has cooled

Tips:
1. Misandao is a traditional Chinese dessert. After hundreds of years of spreading, the methods and appearances of all parts of the country have changed in different ways. In the honey three knives introduced today, a sufficient amount of sesame is added to the leather, which has a strong sesame fragrance. Therefore, the absence of sesame on the crisp has no effect on the taste. But if you like the feeling of sesame seeds on the surface, you can also sprinkle more sesame seeds on the crisp material;
2. The syrup will be very thick after cooling. When soaking the syrup, keep the syrup at a higher temperature, otherwise it will hang too thick on the syrup. If the syrup is cold, you can reheat the syrup appropriately;
3. The "honey" in the three knives of honey refers to maltose. When buying maltose, buy light yellow or brownish-yellow, fluid maltose instead of maltose;
4. The peanut oil in the formula and the peanut oil used as frying oil, if not available, can be replaced with corn oil, soybean oil and other vegetable oils. But the taste of peanut oil is the most fragrant.
