Today I bring you a special, nutritious, nostalgic, and delicious - red dates and corn nests.
Prepared red dates and corn nests
First of all, prepare 250 grams of fine cornmeal, 70 grams of all-purpose flour, 80 grams of glutinous rice flour, 100 grams of millet flour, 5 grams of yeast, 30 grams of white sugar, 2 grams of salt, one room temperature egg, 250 grams of warm water, and an appropriate amount of red dates.
Break one open and look inside
1. Wash the jujube with water, wipe the water dry, use scissors to cut the jujube from the middle, remove the core inside, cut the jujube into pieces, and put it aside for later use. Put the cornmeal, millet flour, glutinous rice flour, all-purpose flour, white sugar, yeast salt, all in a large bowl, stir well, knock an egg into the bowl, stir with chopsticks, and then slowly pour warm water into the bowl, stir while pouring, stir the flour into a flocculent, and then knead the dough with your hands, knead it into a smooth and soft dough, cover it with plastic wrap and put it in a warm place to ferment, about 50 minutes or so (it is best to spray some water in the plastic wrap to keep the dough moist, cornmeal is relatively dry and easy to absorb water).
Pour the ingredients into a large bowl
2. The fermented dough will crack, which is also because the cornmeal is relatively dry, at this time, pour the red dates into the dough, knead the dough with your hands, and knead the red dates and the dough evenly.
Knead into a dough and make a fuss
3. Spread a layer of cornmeal on the panel, anti-sticking, put the kneaded dough on the panel, knead it for a while, arrange it into long strips, cut it into the same size with a knife, knead the dough into a circle, and then slowly rub the tip of one end, which is conical, poke a hole in the middle of the bottom with your fingers, tidy up the neat, and the nest head is ready. If the first one you just made is not very good-looking, don't be discouraged, it will be much better to make another one, and you will be able to do a few more.
Pinch it with your hands into the shape of a nest head
4. Add water to the steamer, put the finished wowotou in turn, leave a little gap in the middle, don't squeeze too much, cover the pot and steam on high heat for 15 minutes, then turn to low heat and steam for 3 minutes, turn off the fire when the time comes, simmer for five minutes, open the lid and take out the pot, the red date wowotou is done, very fragrant.
