How to make lotus leaf cake (steamed buns)
1. Dissolve the yeast powder in warm water, pour the yeast water into the flour and salt several times, knead it into a smooth dough, and ferment it in a warm place for an hour.
Take out the risen dough, knead it evenly, and divide it into small doughs of 40 grams each.2. Roll out the dough into a round shape, brush with a layer of sesame oil, and fold it into a semicircle.
3.Pinch the center of the semicircle with your thumb and index finger to pinch out the petiole of the lotus leaf; use the back of a knife to press out the veins of the lotus leaf on the dough.
4.Cover with a drawer cloth and let it rise for 20 minutes; put a pot of boiling water on the drawer and steam over high heat for 10 minutes and turn off the heat
Tips
1.When making cakes, you can also sprinkle a little pepper powder or pepper according to your personal taste.Chili powder makes the steamed cake spicy and slightly salty, giving it a unique flavor.
2.The prepared cakes should be allowed to rise for 20 minutes before being steamed in a pot, so that the finished product will be fluffy and soft.
3.Brush the two folded leaves with sesame oil and they will not stick together.After steaming, you can add whatever fillings you like 😉
