300 grams of yam, 330 grams of plain flour, 20 grams of condensed milk, 2 eggs, 3 grams of yeast, 10 grams of corn oil
1. Wear gloves, clean the yam, and then peel off the yam skin.
2. Put the peeled yam into clean water immediately, and add a little white vinegar to the water to prevent the yam from turning black when exposed to oxygen.
3. Cut the yam into slices with a thickness of less than one centimeter, then put it in a steamer and steam for 12 minutes.
4. Take out the steamed yam and pound the yam into yam puree while it is hot, preferably without obvious particles.
5. Then wait for the temperature of the mashed yam to drop to about 20 degrees, add two eggs, and stir well with the yam.
6. Then add 3 grams of yeast, 10 grams of corn oil and 20 grams of condensed milk, if there is no condensed milk, you can also use white sugar instead.
7. Then add flour, stir it into a flocculent shape with chopsticks, then knead it into a smooth dough by hand, and finally cover it with plastic wrap and ferment for half an hour to an hour.
8. Sprinkle a layer of dry flour on the cutting board, take out the fermented dough, knead it a few times to fully deflate, and then roll it into thin slices of about 0.5 cm.
9. Then use a round tool, such as the mouth of a bowl; Place the bowl upside down on the dough sheet to create a round shape.
10. Then spread the round cakes to prevent sticking, and let them stand for another 20 minutes.
11. Heat a frying pan over low heat, then brush with a layer of oil, add the yam cakes, and fry slowly over low heat. During the frying process, gently shake the pan to heat the pan evenly, wait for 1 minute, and then turn the yam cake over and fry on the other side.
