Lotus paste and egg yolk cake

Overview

When you are over thirty, have you found that many of your friends have started to maintain health? No more staying up late, no more clubbing, and changing weekend programs from bungee jumping and skiing to cafe cinemas? More and more people are starting to post their step counts, and won’t go home until they reach the top of the list? In the content of the chat, in addition to children’s courses, the elderly’s health includes Sanfu Sanjiu patching, acupuncture and massage. Whenever I see teenagers talking in an old-fashioned way about how I was when I was a kid, I can't resist the urge to strangle them to death. Human powerlessness not only begins with the discovery of a gray hair on the head, but too many times, the years themselves are enough to make human power unable to do what it wants. But life always goes on, we ignore the bad things and decorate every day with joy. Just like when Christmas is clearly a month away, the streets and alleys are filled with Christmas trees and lights, creating a great atmosphere that makes people happy just by looking at it. This year, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day happen to be on a weekend, so the atmosphere of celebration will be even stronger. I have planned the Christmas Eve menu in advance, and even decided on the snacks for afternoon tea. My favorite is the lotus paste and egg yolk cake. I bought a lot of white lotus paste filling during the Mid-Autumn Festival and had two bags left. It’s perfect to use it with egg yolks to make pastries. The sweetness of the lotus seed, the glutinous and slightly salty egg yolk, and the melting crispness of the meringue, when combined with rose tea, I feel that I have the strength to resist life again~~

3. 3 Divide the white lotus paste into 16 pieces, each weighing 20g.

   

4. 4 Drain the oil from the salted egg yolk, take a piece of white lotus paste, flatten it in the palm of your hand, put a salted egg yolk on it, and wrap it into a filling ball.

   

5. 5 Knead the water-oiled dough and puff pastry dough into strips and cut into 16 equal parts.

   

6. 6 Take a piece of water-oil dough, flatten it with your palms, and put a small piece of puff pastry dough inside.

   

7. 7 Wrap the pastry, seal it downwards, press it firmly, place it on the chopping board and roll it gently into an oval shape.

   

8. 8 Roll the dough from bottom to top, cover the rolled dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes.

   

9. 9 Then roll the dough into an oval and roll it from bottom to top. Cover the rolled dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes.

   

10. 10 Roll into an oval shape again. Continue rolling from bottom to top.

    

11. 11 Press from the middle with your hands, squeeze the two sides toward the middle, knead it into a round shape, and roll it out into a round cake shape.

    

12. 12 Place the stuffing ball and slowly push up the pie crust with the tiger's mouth.

    

13. 13 Wrap it up like a bun and pinch it tightly to close.

    

14. 14 Place, seam side down, on a baking sheet lined with foil.

    

15. 15 Preheat oven to 175 degrees. Brush the surface of the wrapped egg yolk pastry with egg yolk liquid (1 egg yolk and a tablespoon of egg white and mix well), put it in the middle rack of the oven, and set the timer for 35 minutes.

    

16. 16 After ten minutes, take it out and brush it with egg yolk liquid. After twenty minutes, take it out and brush it with egg yolk liquid again. Sprinkle with fried white sesame seeds and continue baking until the end of the program.
