Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Make the filling first. Put 70 grams of sugar, 35 grams of lard, and 110 grams of water into the milk pot. At the same time, weigh out the glutinous rice flour and grated coconut. You can omit the grated coconut if you don’t have it

   

2. 2 Put the milk pot on the fire and bring it to a boil over medium-low heat. Pour in 70 grams of glutinous rice flour and quickly stir evenly. At this time, turn the heat to low. The glutinous rice flour is raw and not fried. Can it still be cooked if it is scalded in the boiling water? Don't worry. . . .

   

3. 3 Mix everything together, turn off the heat, add white sesame seeds and coconut grated and mix well

   

4. 4 Spread the mixed stuffing evenly on a plate. The freshly made stuffing will be easier to handle. Cover it with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator

   

5. 5 Prepare 2 bowls and put all the ingredients for oil dough and puff pastry respectively. For oil dough: 100 grams of medium flour, 10 grams of lard, 15 grams of sugar, and 50 grams of water; for puff pastry: 80 grams of medium flour, 40 grams of lard

   

6. 6 Cut the pastry into a dough, knead the dough into a smooth dough, cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise for about 30 minutes

   

7. 7 Divide the dough and pastry into 15 pieces, divide them evenly, roll them into balls, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for a while

   

8. 8 After resting, wrap the pastry in the dough, pinch the edges tightly, finish all the steps, cover with plastic wrap and let stand for a while

   

9. 9 Divide the refrigerated filling into 15 equal portions

   

10. 10 Take a piece of dough and flatten it, roll it out into a beef tongue shape, roll it up from top to bottom, just like making egg yolk puff pastry. This is the first time to roll it up

    

11. 11 Let the dough rest for a while, then flatten and roll it out for the second time

    

12. 12 Take the dough and roll it out, wrap it in the filling, and pinch it tightly

    

13. 13 The prepared wife cake is put into the frying pan of the air fryer. There is no need to put parchment paper in the frying pan. The surface of the dough is brushed with egg wash first, and then three slits are made with a knife to avoid the filling from exploding during the baking process

    

14. 14 Press the function button of the air fryer to select egg tarts, set the temperature to 200 degrees, and set the time to 18 minutes. Press and hold the preheat button to start preheating. The default preheating time is 5 minutes. These 5 minutes do not occupy the set baking time. Do not put the fried eggs in during preheating

    

15. 15 There will be a beep when preheating is completed. Open the lid and put in the frying pan. After closing the lid, the fryer will run automatically until the baking time is over. The fryer has a transparent window that lights up after a while, making it easy to see the baking situation;
