The process of making white sugar cake is simple and the ingredients are easy to get, which makes it a perfect home-made food. Below, I will introduce you to the steps of making white sugar cake.

Preparing ingredients

The ingredients needed to make white sugar cake are very simple, only three ingredients are needed: glutinous rice powder, sugar and water. Glutinous rice flour is the main ingredient of the white sugar cake, while sugar is for sweetness and water is for adjusting the consistency of the batter.

Making Process

1. Pour the glutinous rice flour into a bowl, add an appropriate amount of water and mix well until the batter becomes smooth.

2. Pour the sugar into another bowl, add the right amount of water and mix well until the sugar is completely dissolved.

3. Pour the sugar water into the batter and stir well until the batter becomes thick.

4. Pour the batter into the steamer and spread it with a spatula, sprinkle some glutinous rice flour on top to prevent the pastry from sticking to the pan.

5. Place the steamer into the pot and steam over high heat for 15-20 minutes, until the pastries are cooked through.

6. Remove the steamer, invert the pastries onto a plate, and cut into small pieces with a knife.

Tips

1. The consistency of the batter is very important in making white sugar pastries. If the batter is too thin, the steamed pastry will not be firm enough; if the batter is too thick, the steamed pastry will be hard.

2. During the process of steaming the pastries, you can add some mint leaves or cinnamon and other seasonings to the pot, which can make the pastries more sweet and delicious.

3. If you think the texture of white sugar pastries is not rich enough, you can add some sesame seeds or chopped walnuts into the batter, which can increase the richness of the texture.
