Koi and wind-roasted confectionery

Overview

Wagyu confectionery is a Japanese snack with a light taste. The main ingredients are only cake flour, condensed milk and egg yolk. Compared with American snacks that are heavy in oil and sugar, they are more suitable to be enjoyed with tea. What’s more important is that you have a lot of freedom in making the dough for yakigozuki. You can create any shape you like. As long as you have something in mind, your dream can come true! Today I used the technique of burning fruit to create a koi and lotus. Koi is known as a traveling work of art, which means good luck, good luck, peace, and wealth. I would like to send this beautiful wish to everyone who likes this snack!

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare ingredients: low-gluten flour: 100g, condensed milk: 100g, egg yolk: 1, bean paste: 45g, aluminum-free baking powder: 1g, food coloring: appropriate amount. According to the size of the mold I used, all the materials used here can make three koi fish. Please adjust the amount of ingredients according to the size of the mold you are using and the quantity required.

   

2. 2 Mix egg yolks and condensed milk until smooth.

   

3. 3 Sift the flour and baking powder into the just-whipped egg yolk condensed milk mixture.

   

4. 4 Mix well.

   

5. 5 Knead into dough. The dough at this time is not particularly easy to form and feels sticky. Don't be impatient, just slowly shape the dough into shape without over-kneading.

   

6. 6 Take a small piece of primary-colored dough, add various food colorings according to your preference, knead evenly, and use it to make the koi pattern. Cover both the original and colored dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

   

7. 7 Depending on the size of the mold I'm using, I set the filling weight per portion to be 15g per portion. Please adjust the weight of each filling according to the size of your mold.

   

8. 8 The dough becomes very easy to shape after being refrigerated. Roll the original color dough into a long strip and divide it into 3 equal portions.

   

9. 9 Roll the dough into a ball and press colored dough on the ball according to your preference.

   

10. 10 Roll the dough into a thick sheet in the center and thin around the edges, and place the bean paste filling in the center of the dough sheet.

    

11. 11 Gather the dough sheet and wrap the filling. A little tidying up.

    

12. 12 Sprinkle flour into the mold to prevent sticking.

    

13. 13 Roll the stuffed dough into a long strip of appropriate size and put it into the mold.

    

14. 14 Press the dough according to the shape of the mold with moderate pressure.

    

15. 15 Easily release the mold with a gentle tap. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees and cook all the koi.

    

16. 16 Place in the middle rack of the oven and heat up and down to 160 degrees for 18 minutes. You can adjust the corresponding temperature and time according to your own oven conditions and the size and quantity of snacks.

    

17. 17 After taking it out of the oven, let it dry for a short while. When it is no longer hot when you hold it with your hands, use a black food coloring pen to draw the eyes of the koi.

    

18. 18 Lotus can be picked in the south of the Yangtze River,

    

19. 19 Lotus leaves and fields.

    

20. 20 There are two carps in it,

    

21. 21 Playing among the blue waves.

    

22. 22 Fish plays with lotus leaves in the east,

    

23. 23 Fish plays with lotus leaves in the south.

    

24. 24 Whose daughter is deep in the lotus leaf?

    

25. 25 I smiled and threw a lotus across the water.
