Dandelion cake
Overview
From the beginning of April, when Hua'er went to the vegetable market to purchase, she was waiting for the arrival of a kind of wild vegetable. Speaking of which, this wild vegetable is not only a nutritious and refreshing vegetable, but also a good medicine. This is dandelion. Dandelion is particularly effective in clearing away heat, detoxifying, reducing swelling and dissipating knots. If you suffer from symptoms such as excessive heat poisoning, red eyes and pharynx, eating dandelion is particularly effective. In addition to being used as stuffing for dumplings, dandelion can also be used to make salty porridge. It has a refreshing taste and rich therapeutic effects. Here Huaer will share with you a particularly delicious staple food made with dandelions: dandelion cakes.

-
Prepare the required ingredients.

Remove the stems of dandelions, wash them, blanch them in boiling water for 1 minute, drain them into cold water.
-
Drain the blanched dandelion leaves and chop into dices.
-
Adding white sugar to the cornmeal gives it a slightly sweet taste and is delicious; adding baking powder makes it fluffier.

Then add an egg, do not add water first, stir with a chopstick.

Add the chopped dandelion you just chopped. Because the leaves themselves contain more water, after mixing with cornmeal, the humidity will be normal.

When kneading cornmeal, prepare a small bowl of water on hand and pat an appropriate amount of water in your palms to make it easier to knead the cornmeal into a ball. Such a small cake is 50 grams and can be made into about 5 pieces.

Press into small cakes with your hands.
-
You can use an electric pan or a flat-bottomed frying pan. Brush a thin layer of oil into the pan, insert the pancakes, and fry until golden brown on both sides.

The fried pancakes are especially crispy and the aroma of corn fills your mouth when you take a bite. This small plate of pancakes is good for your stomach and satiates your cravings.
