Egg yolk cake

Overview

Unexpectedly, I fell in love with the egg yolk cake after eating it for the first time. The crispy outer layer, soft bean paste inside and the texture of salted egg yolk, and the scent of lard in the pastry make it really unforgettable. After referring to the words "Love and Freedom" and the advice from his seniors, Fang Zi finally ate the egg yolk cake he made.

5. 5 Wrap each portion of red bean paste with half a salted egg yolk, roll into a ball and set aside.

   

6. 6 After the oil crust and puff pastry have rested for ten minutes, divide them into 16 equal parts. If the weather is hot, cover them with plastic wrap to prevent the oil crust from drying out.

13. 13 Then roll it out with a rolling pin into a thin round piece.

    

14. 14 Then use a round piece to wrap a ball of red bean paste and egg yolk filling, tighten it with the tiger's mouth, and pinch the mouth downwards.

    

15. 15 Wrap 16 egg yolk puffs one by one, place them in a baking pan, prepare an appropriate amount of egg yolk liquid, brush two layers on the surface of the egg yolk puffs, and sprinkle some black and white sesame seeds.
