During the Mid-Autumn Festival, make some traditional Chinese peach blossom cakes to meet the occasion. In traditional festivals, in addition to eating moon cakes, you might as well have some traditional Chinese pastries. They are crispy and delicious, with distinct layers. The key is to have a super high appearance.
The color of the peach blossom pastry is very beautiful with red yeast powder. You can also use red food coloring to adjust the color, but you must remember to use too much, the color will not be so pleasing to the eye.
Peach blossom pastry is divided into three parts, pastry, crust and filling. The flour needed for pastry is low-gluten flour, all-purpose flour is used for the oil crust, and the filling is generally red bean filling. The water and oil skin part is composed of water, lard and all-purpose flour. It is kneaded by hand or machine to form a smooth dough. The film can be pulled out in the best state, and it will not break in the process of making. I used Arowana's cob wheat flour, which easily comes out of the film. The pastry part is made up of low-gluten flour and lard. The low flour of the pastry part is made of arowana pastry powder, which is made of 100% high-quality wheat flour. The pastry made from this high-quality flour is not easy to gluten, and the color of the food is beautiful. The taste is crisp and fragrant. "

Tips:

1. The oily skin must be out of the film, so the choice of flour is also very important. The oily skin will not break easily during the remaking process, otherwise it will break so that you want to cry.
2. This is a very time-consuming production process, almost every step requires "relaxation" and "standstill". If you can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient, you must be patient.
3. This is a production process that cannot be done without the plastic wrap.
