Tips:
1. The filling of this wife's pie is traditional glutinous rice filling. Nowadays, there are many kinds of fillings for the wife's pie. Bean paste and jujube puree can be used as the filling of the wife's pie. You can choose according to your own preferences. 2. Winter melon velvet is added to the fillings of traditional wife pie, and for the convenience of later production, it is generally replaced with sugared winter melon. If you have sugar winter melon strips, cut 40 grams of sugar winter melon strips into small cubes or paste them into the filling. The taste will be richer and closer to the flavor of traditional wife pie. 3. Chinese pastry likes to be made with lard, which has good crisping effect and strong aroma. If lard is not available, butter can be used instead. If you don’t even want to use butter, use vegetable oil! The same amount can be substituted, but lard is the best for shortening, butter is the second, and vegetable oil is the second. 4. The last process (cutting the noodles) is not only for aesthetics, but also for the internal heat to be released when the wife cake is baked, otherwise, the filling will easily burst out during baking. 5. All-purpose flour is ordinary flour for household use. You can also use half of high-gluten flour and half of low-gluten flour instead. 6. Wife cakes are very crispy when they are just baked. After being sealed and stored for one day, the outer skin absorbs the moisture of the filling, and the taste becomes softer and closer to the commercially available wife cake.
