【Henan】Yam Salted Egg Yolk Crispy Cake
Overview
Wenxian County in Henan is the origin of Tiegun yam, which is divided into sandy soil and Lu soil, with Lu soil yam having the best quality. Lutu yam has red skin, fine and dense texture, good taste and rich nutrition, but the price is much more expensive than ordinary iron yam. The price here is basically double that of the same-produced subway stick yam. If compared with ordinary yam, it is even more expensive. But there is a reason why it is expensive. Tasty and nutritious food is the most important thing. I especially love to eat yam, and my mother-in-law also likes to eat it, so I never stop adding yam. In addition to stewing, I also change various methods to make yam delicacies. Today's biscuit is made with Lutu yam as the main ingredient. Butter is used as the fat, which adds a milky flavor. The key is that butter is also an important ingredient for this biscuit to be crisp and delicious. I have also made this biscuit with vegetable oil, but the texture is not as crispy, so I will share this recipe with you. If you like it, try it. I can also make some home-style biscuits during the Spring Festival. My family will definitely like it. Moreover, this biscuit does not contain sugar and is a salty biscuit, especially for those who don’t like sugar. In my family, this biscuit is loved by all ages. In a family with four generations living under one roof, it is the happiest thing for a cook to enjoy it!

Ingredients
Steps
-
Steamed Lutu yam
-
Peel the yam and crush it into a puree, press the salted egg yolk into a puree, mix them together and mix well. Salted egg yolk is the yolk of cooked salted duck eggs. It is not recommended to use salted egg yolk for baking. I have used that egg yolk and it didn’t turn out as crispy
-
Put the low-gluten flour and butter into a basin. The butter does not need to be softened, just cut into cubes
-
Using your hands, rub the butter and flour into a sandy consistency. This process is also a process of crisping butter and flour. The function is similar to beating butter, so frozen butter can be used directly and the crisping effect is better
-
Add the mixed yam and egg yolk puree, mix into a dough, and let it sit for half an hour. I forgot to take a picture of the dough, so I can only explain it here.
-
Roll the dough into a large piece with a thickness of about 3 mm, cut into pieces, brush the surface with egg wash, and sprinkle with black and white sesame seeds
-
Place on baking sheet
-
Heat the oven to 160 degrees, preheat it, and bake for about 25 minutes. My oven is a little bit lower than the middle shelf
-
Baked shortbread
-
Break it open and take a look. It has a layered texture similar to mille-feuille. It tastes crispy and delicious.
