The practice of reunion cake in old Beijing

Introduction of Mid-Autumn Festival Old Beijing Reunion Cake

We celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in old Beijing. In addition to moon cakes and fruits, every family also has the custom of steaming reunion cakes, which is auspicious. Today's blessings are all on the map! It's all from the heart, and words are all from the heart. It's such a simple blessing! Easy to write, random stuffing, random size and random surface decoration. There are only a few points to insist on: the round one can't be changed! Steamed and fermented can't be changed! Just this festival, my hometown should respect the moon and cannot change it! The rest is casual. Look carefully, it is still a healthy staple food. Is worshiping autumn harvest a cultural fragment of agricultural civilization? I don't know if it's nonsense. I wish my family a reunion! The circle is full!

The practice of steaming old Beijing reunion cake;

1. First, mix 800g of dry flour and 10g of yeast with 420g of clean water, then put them all into the chef's jar, stir them evenly by hand, and leave them for half an hour without drying noodles.

2. Stir the chef's noodles at low speed for 5 minutes. The picture below shows the stirring dough type, which is fermented to twice the size and divided into 5 parts for later use.

3. Prepare stuffing: soak dried fruit in wine, boil sugar water, cook sesame paste, and spread the stuffing on the crust, three layers.

4. Roll out a rectangle around the cake blank, and layer by layer as shown in the figure: then cut and press the rectangular cake blank, open the lid, pinch the edge and pinch the lace. The sun gap is decorated with dates, the bamboo curtain is coated with oil, put on the reunion cake, and steamed in the oven 1 15 degrees for one hour, and it is cooked.

If you can't finish eating, cool it and put it in the refrigerator, and then eat it after heating it. I remember writing in detail a few years ago, and the more I write, the lazier I get. Tradition is a fragment. I like it. I can sweat. Forget the pain here and there, and stick to it. It is also an encouragement to myself.
