Method for make white sugar cake (hair cake)

Traditional manufacturing method

Ingredients: white rice1/2kg, sugar1/2kg, 2 teaspoons of yeast powder, 3 cups of water.

Exercise:

1. Wash the rice, soak it in clear water for 3 hours, drain the water, add 1 cup of clear water with a stone mill or blender, and beat it into rice slurry for later use.

2. Pour the sugar into two glasses of water. After the sugar is dissolved and rolled, pour the sugar water into the rice slurry and stir it evenly immediately.

3. Pour the yeast powder into 1.5 cup of warm water, stir well and wait for 5 minutes.

4. After the rice slurry (with sugar water) is cooled, pour in yeast powder and water, stir gently, cover it with wet cloth or plastic wrap, and wait for 5 to 6 hours.

5. Boil the water in a large pot until it boils, put it in a steamer, put a piece of wet white cloth in the steamer, and then pour in the fermented rice slurry.

6. Cover the steamer and wrap it with a wet cloth to avoid steam leakage.

7. Steam for about 30 minutes, take it out, spread it and cut it into pieces.

8. Try to steam sugar in a steamer instead of vegetables. Using a dish will make the steam in the cake useless, and the steamed sugar will stand upright.

Simple manufacturing method

Material 1: one and a half cups of sticky rice flour (sugar cake)

Material 2: 3/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water; 3/4 teaspoon yeast powder and 1 tablespoon warm water.

Exercise:

1. Add sticky rice flour to the material 1 and stir evenly to form rice slurry.

2. Material 2 is stirred and left for 10 minute, and cellophane is laid in a steaming tray for later use.

3. Cook the rice paste until it is thick with low fire. When cooking, keep stirring to avoid hardening or burning, and then filter with a sieve.

4. After the rice slurry is cooled, add yeast water and stir evenly. Let it stand for 6-8 hours until there are many bubbles on the surface, then pour it into a steaming pan and steam it for 25 minutes with high fire until it is cooked, and then cut it into pieces to eat.

Traditionally, the authentic Lunjiao sugar cake is not sour, but crystal clear, sweet, elastic and refreshing.

If it is sour, it may be that the fermentation time is too long, or vinegar is added to prevent it from going bad, or it has gone bad.
