“It’s not difficult to make this wedding cake!”
Chen Meijuan divided the dough and kneaded it into small balls. Shen Jiayue took a small rolling pin and simply flattened it, and the cake was completed.
It's really not difficult if you only do the last step.
But in the process of making pastry, the more experienced steps are always dividing the dough and wrapping the fillings. As for the final rolling of the pastry, you don’t even need a rolling pin.
If you flatten it directly with your hands, it will still be a cake.
"My daughter-in-law is really good. She learned how to make pancakes right after she came up."
Chen Meijuan praised a few words and then helped Lin Xu pack the stuffing.
There are several kinds of fillings, all of which need to be slowly wrapped in dough, then kneaded, and finally rolled into dough.
Place these cake doughs on the baking tray, open the oven, take out the baked cake dough inside, and replace it with new ones.
"It's so fast. Why does the pancake rise so fast?"
Shen Jiayue was a little surprised. She remembered that when steaming steamed buns before, it took at least fifteen minutes for the dough to become fluffy.
But now, in just five or six minutes, the volume of the cake has doubled.
Lin Xu said:
"The baking powder is added here, which can make the cake dough rise quickly. If no baking powder is added, the rise speed will be much slower."
After saying that, he plugged in the electric pan, preheated it, placed the noodles spaced apart, selected the upper and lower heat to heat, and then closed the pan.
Taking advantage of this time, Lin Xu continued to make stuffing.
After five minutes, open the electric baking pan and a nice smell of dough comes out from inside.
The fragrance is mixed with the fragrance of egg and milk, which makes people feel very comfortable.
The flatbread has risen a little more, and the surface has been toasted to a brown color, making it look delicious.
Lin Xu held a bamboo spatula in one hand and the dough cakes in the other. He quickly turned the wedding cakes over, then placed the pan on the pan and continued to bake them for three minutes.
Although the current electric baking pan is heated from both the top and bottom sides, the heat is obviously not hot enough, and it needs to be turned over halfway so that the dough can be thoroughly cooked.
After turning over, the baking time needs to be halved, otherwise there is a risk of the wedding cake being burned.
The preparation of this kind of wedding cake is actually very simple. You don’t even need to apply oil, just dry bake it directly. When both sides are golden brown, you can take it out of the pan and taste it.
The cooking method is very similar to the dough used to make mutton steamed buns.
However, compared to the dead dough pancakes used in mutton steamed buns, the wedding pancakes are made from the most up-to-date dough, and it is also a relatively fluffy dough.
When baking wedding cakes, you need to use a baking pan to reduce the rise of the cakes.
Only in this way can the wedding cake be made soft yet chewy, chewy yet sweet and delicious. In a word, it is delicious.
After three minutes, open the pan again and scoop out the dough one by one.
Then put the second batch of risen cakes in and continue baking.
Shen Jiayue was holding a rolling pin and pretending to roll out the cakes. As soon as she saw the wedding cakes coming out of the pan, she immediately came over:
“It smells so good!”
These pancakes are only about the size of a palm, but are nearly two centimeters thick, giving them a very solid feel.
The round noodle pancake, with its brown color and rich aroma, makes people want to try it.
Lin Xu said:
"This kind of cake actually tastes better when it's cold, but if you want to try it now, you can try it. Take these out and let everyone have a try."
When Shen Jiayue heard this, she walked outside with a small bamboo basket.
"Lele, Yanbao, Sister Xiaoqi, Sister Yuanyuan... Come, come, try the wedding cakes I made, and give you a chance to be happy."
Chen Yan was sitting on the sofa at the moment, watching Ren Jie and Shen Guofu playing fighting games on PS5, and couldn't help but let out a "beep" after hearing this:
"Yueyue, do you think I didn't hear the conversation in the kitchen? You just used a rolling pin to roll out the cake, and just left it here and said you made it. This wedding cake is really... looks good, let me taste it.
Light."
Hum hum, although it was not done by my cousin, after all, she is the bride today, so it gives her some face.
Shen Jiayue said happily:
"Anyway, I have to be a new daughter-in-law. When you get married, if you don't make wedding cakes for me to eat, I will hire someone to make trouble at the wedding so that you can't sleep at night."
Chen Yan: "..."
It has to be you who can think of such a bad idea.
The two sisters no longer bickered, but each picked up a small pancake.
The temperature of the pancake is still very high. When you take a bite, the browned shell tastes fragrant and crispy, and the inside of the pancake has a rich egg flavor, milk aroma and flour aroma.
This aroma combined with the slightly fluffy texture makes it feel like bread has been pressed into a pancake.
"Hey, it's so sweet and delicious."
Although there is a lot of sugar in it, there is no particularly strong sweetness when eating it. Instead, the milky flavor brought by the custard powder gives the wedding cake the finishing touch.
Because the flour cake is made with peanut oil and lard, although it feels very dry on the outside and does not have any greasy feeling, when you eat it, it has a moist texture unique to fat.
This feeling makes the wedding cake taste more delicious and more layered.
Chen Yuanyuan took a bite and gave her sister-in-law a thumbs up:
"It's really delicious. I remember when I was a kid, my relatives had wedding cakes twice. When I got older, I changed them to snow cakes. I thought snow cakes were wedding cakes. I didn't expect to eat the original ones today, and I realized that I missed a lot of delicious food.
”
Chen Meide on the side took one, took a bite, and said with a smile:
"In the past, people were busy and supplies were not abundant. Every day, they were thinking of ways to eat, but they still didn't have enough to eat. How is it like now? Many families don't bother to cook. They make do with a meal at a street stall or go home.
Order takeout."
While life is prosperous, life pressure has also increased sharply.
Especially those who are burdened with mortgage loans are rushing for time every day and struggling to make money. Many times they even make money on the basis of a healthy overdraft.
Relatively speaking, although I was poor in the past, I was quite leisurely.
Someone is having a wedding, and they go to help two days in advance, and they don’t leave on the day of the wedding. After the banquet, they eat wedding cakes, and then they have a wedding party in the evening, having fun for most of the night before they disperse.
But now, the so-called making trouble in the bridal chamber is just a meaning, not even a meaning, just letting the groom and the bride go.
We all know how tiring it is to get married, plus we are busy, so we canceled the wedding ceremony.
In the kitchen, Lin Xu felt that the electric pan was too slow to cook, and could only cook seven or eight at a time, so he placed the pan on the gas stove.
Heat the pot first, then put the dough cakes in one by one, cover the pot, and start baking.
After three or four minutes, turn the dough over and continue baking.
Soon, the pot of stuffed wedding cakes was ready. After they were brought outside, everyone tasted them individually. In the end, they felt that the noodle cakes with red bean paste filling and jujube paste filling were the most delicious.
I was busy, and sure enough someone came to visit me.
Brother Qiang, Qi Panpan, Yue Liyue, Panda, Wu Kexin and other old customers came to see Lin Xu, firstly to visit, and secondly to say goodbye to Lin Xu. They were going back to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year.
Every Chinese New Year, the originally bustling streets and alleys in Beijing become deserted.
Many people working in the capital are just waiting to return to their hometowns during the New Year, see their wives and children, spend time with their parents and elders, and have a New Year's Eve dinner together.
After just a few days of rest, I have to return to the capital and continue to make money by moving bricks.
Lin Xu wiped his hands, took a bite of a pumpkin-filled wedding cake:
"We are going back tomorrow. My father-in-law has chartered a business bus and will leave early tomorrow morning. We will probably arrive in Yinzhou in the afternoon. We will go back to rest for a while and kill pigs in the scenic spot the day after tomorrow."
When he heard about killing pigs, Brother Qiang smiled and said:
"When you talk about killing pigs, I get greedy for killing pigs and vegetables. This year Panpan went to my house to celebrate the New Year. My mother bought a hundred kilograms of meat and killed several big roosters. She also planned to kill a sheep when we went back. I couldn't eat it.
When it comes to killing pigs and vegetables, eat lambs and vegetables."
My daughter-in-law is coming to visit, but Brother Qiang and his family have already shown their sincerity in advance.
Jin Province is not close to the sea. Although you can't eat any decent seafood, there is no shortage of beef, mutton, chicken, duck, and pork.
Qi Panpan lightly kicked Brother Qiang:
"It's all your fault. I had to tell your mother that I could eat a whole big elbow in one meal, but I ended up with so much meat. I thought you had found a sumo wrestler."
Brother Qiang grinned:
"Not only is there meat, but there are also vegetarian dishes. My mother is going to go to my uncle's school tomorrow morning to eat salt-fried mutton. I will cook it for you to try on the day when the sheep is slaughtered."
Because the northern Shanxi region is close to Inner Mongolia, there is no shortage of mutton.
Moreover, they are all high-quality mutton, and various methods can be found locally.
Shen Jiayue asked curiously:
