Jujube paste and walnut cake

Overview

When he was little, Haochijun especially liked to eat foods filled with red bean paste, such as bean buns and snacks. (Actually, his love for red bean paste has only increased as he grew up.) But before, I couldn’t say I disliked snacks filled with jujube paste. I could only say that I didn’t like them, and they felt so-so. Now, in the blink of an eye, it seems that the foods that I hated before are now acceptable. Two days ago, my mother bought a big bag of red dates. Yes, that’s right, it’s a big bag. It’s not 10 kilograms, but 5 kilograms. How long will it take to finish them? It would be boring to eat red dates dry, but I suddenly thought of making them into jujube paste, wrapping them into jujube paste buns, or making some Chinese snacks, which would be very good~ So in the middle of the night, Haochijun started his journey of boiling jujubes. I have only seen people making date paste stuffing on the Internet. It needs to be boiled, crushed in a food processor, and finally fried in a pan until it holds together. Just looking at these steps seems very troublesome, so I have never tried it myself. But this time there are so many red dates, so I still want to try it. Mix in some chopped walnuts, and the sweet and fragrant date paste is actually not difficult to make~

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Let’s make the jujube paste filling first. Wash the red dates, put them into the rice cooker, and start the "cooking" mode. After all the red dates are cooked until soft, peel and core them.

   

2. 2 Put the jujube meat into the pan and stir-fry over low heat.

   

3. 3 Add an appropriate amount of white sugar or brown sugar, chopped walnuts, and a little corn oil halfway through, stir-fry until the date paste holds together, then scoop it out and let it cool.

   

4. 4 Now let’s make the dough part. Water and oil skin part - 80g all-purpose flour, 5g sugar, 20g vegetable oil (or lard), about 50g water (add an appropriate amount according to the water absorption of the flour).

   

5. 5 Pastry dough part - 60g all-purpose flour, 20g vegetable oil (or lard), 2g red yeast rice powder.

   

6. 6 Just hold the pastry in a ball.

   

7. 7 Divide the water and oil skin into 20g portions, divide the pastry dough into 10g portions, and divide the jujube paste filling into 15g portions, and make everything.

   

8. 8 Take a piece of water-oil dough, roll it out, and put in the puff pastry dough.

   

9. 9 Tie and wrap, and do all the relaxation for 15 minutes.

   

10. 10 Take a piece of dough and roll it out flat.

    

11. 11 Roll up from top to bottom.

    

12. 12 Continue to flatten and roll up from top to bottom.

    

13. 13 Make all the dough.

    

14. 14 Fold both ends of the dough in half.

    

15. 15 Press it flat and add date paste filling, then seal and wrap.

    

16. 16 Flatten the dough with the palm of your hand into a pancake shape.

    

17. 17 Cut 4 slits with a knife.

    

18. 18 Pinch each edge slightly with your hands to make the cake rounder. Press the knife mark in the middle to make a stamen shape.

    

19. 19 After making everything, I made three styles in total and put them on the baking sheet.

    

20. 20 Decorate with some sesame seeds or red seal in the middle.

    

21. 21 Preheat the oven to 180 degrees for about 25 minutes.

    

22. 22 During the baking process, you should observe the coloring on the surface of the shortbread. If the color is heavy, cover it with tin foil.

    

23. 23 After baking, let it cool naturally.

    

24. 24 Sweet and crispy, haha~ Let’s eat~
