Nine-grade lotus cake

Overview

I have always liked making Chinese pastries. Although the process is a bit cumbersome, you can still enjoy the fun of spending time in the kitchen alone during the folding and folding process of the dough. During the Spring Festival, in addition to preparing various candies, nuts, pastries and the like, it is also indispensable. The pastries bought outside are always worried about high oil and sugar. It is not very safe to eat for the elderly at home. It is more interesting to make some yourself. I made a lotus pastry. The recipe is also the recipe for ordinary pastries. It can also be used to make egg yolk puff pastry, chestnut puff pastry, etc. The process is not complicated and a little tedious, and the relaxation time is essential each time. The crispy and crumbly texture is worth having. The key is that this snack is very respectable whether it is given as a gift or eaten at home during the holidays
