Crystal cake

Overview

Crystal cake is a traditional wet cake in Guangdong. The outer shell is crystal clear, the texture is a bit crispy and a bit soft, and the filling inside is crystal clear at a glance! It is a very delicate and delicious snack that is not complicated to make. Have this snack at a family dinner...it will definitely impress your guests~🙈🙈🙊 The shiny crust is precisely because the ingredients used do not contain wheat starch and instead contain wheat. It can be used to make shrimp dumplings, crystal pancakes, rice rolls, powdered fruits and other snacks. The biggest feature of snacks made with clear noodles is that the outer skin becomes transparent after steaming~ As for the filling, I used simple ingredients: sweet potatoes😱😱! With the addition of milk powder and sugar, the appearance and texture are really no worse than those with custard filling! If you like to make snacks, you can try it

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 (Let’s talk about the filling first) The filling of this milky sweet potato filling is to peel and slice the sweet potato, steam it, then add sugar while it’s hot and twist it with a spoon. It will be wet at this time, then add some milk powder and flour and mix it until it is dry and easy to handle ~

   

2. 2 Add the noodles, cornstarch, and sugar to a bowl and slowly add boiling water while stirring with chopsticks into a cotton-like shape

   

3. 3 Then add about 5g of corn oil or soybean oil and knead it into a smooth dough~

   

4. 4 Cover the chopping board with plastic wrap to prevent dirt and sticking. Divide the dough and fillings into appropriate equal parts and start wrapping

   

5. 5 After wrapping, use a mold to carefully and patiently press out the patterns. I don’t have a special cake mold at home, so I use the mold I used to make mooncakes 🙄

   

6. 6 Brush a layer of corn oil into the steamed pan and steam for 6.7 minutes on boiling water (don’t make the cake too thick, otherwise it will be difficult to steam and it will not be translucent and beautiful enough😊)

   

7. 7 The bright yellow color of the finished product shines through the crust, giving it a vague and hazy beauty

   

8. 8 The mat of the finished steamer at home looks great when used to place dishes👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

   

9. 9 You can eat half of the finished product in one bite... Haha, there is no sunshine today, but you can still see the transparency of the crust😍😍It looks good and delicious☺️☺️☺️Awesome👏🏼
