The method of this cornmeal is to make "fat cake", most of the fat cake is made of rice, and you can also make cornmeal, but the taste is not as delicate and smooth as rice. Coarse grains are like this, and they taste very coarse, so they are called coarse grains. The cornmeal cake I'm going to share today is very "refreshing", and this method is very suitable for breakfast.
【Required Documents】
200 grams of cornmeal, 200 grams of flour, 200 ml of boiling water, 2 eggs, 10 grams of sugar, 4 grams of yeast, appropriate amount of oil, appropriate amount of dried cranberries.
【Steps】
1. Pour freshly boiled boiling water into the corn flour and stir as you pour, stirring until it becomes granular.
2. Knock two eggs and sugar into it and stir well. The white sugar here mainly plays a role in promoting fermentation, and if you like to eat sweeter, you can add more.
3. After the batter is not hot, add 4 grams of yeast. The temperature of the batter should not be too high, otherwise the yeast will be scalded to death and then lose its activity, resulting in the dough not rising.
4. Add the flour in small amounts and stir as you pour. Do not pour it all at once, as it may cause it to be too dry.
5. Add until it is like this, a very viscous batter can be, not too thin, too thin to hold up, it can swell up when steaming, and it will collapse as soon as it leaves the steam.
6. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise to twice its size. The fermentation time is not fixed because the weather is cold and requires a longer fermentation time. I sat in warm water for about an hour. See that the volume is significantly doubled, and the inside is filled with air.
7. Stir to drain the gas inside and stir to its original size. It must be vented, and the internal tissue that is steamed out at the back is more delicate.
8. Prepare a few bowls, brush a little oil inside to prevent sticking, and facilitate the later demolding.
9. Scoop the batter into it and put it to 6 minutes full. Dip a spatula in water to smooth out the batter.
10. Put dried cranberries on the surface, or use raisins or crushed red dates and other dried fruits, preserved fruits, etc. Place in the steamer, close the lid and let the second time for 10 minutes.
11. When it's time to make a meal, see if the batter grows to 7 minutes. Cover the lid when the food is ready, turn on the heat and start steaming, turn to medium-low heat and steam for 25 minutes after the water boils.
12. When the time is up, turn off the heat and simmer for five minutes before removing from the pot. You can take off the mold after it is not hot, and it is really delicious to eat while it is a little hot.
Tips:
1. Be sure not to ignore the second hair, only after the hair can the fluffy hair cake be steamed.
2. The consistency of the batter must be high, and the internal tissue of the things steamed out of the batter is too thin will be very empty, which will not hold up, and will lead to depressions.
3. Adding eggs is also to stabilize the structure and increase the success rate, if you are afraid of a fishy smell, you can add some lemon juice or white vinegar to remove the fishy.
