Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 First put the cooking oil into a basin, then put the basin into a hot pan over water and heat it to 70 degrees.

   

2. 2 Weigh the low-gluten flour first.

   

3. 3 Remove the basin from the pot and sift in the low-gluten flour.

   

4. 4 First mix the flour and oil evenly, then add the milk and mix evenly, then add 6 egg yolks (if the eggs are 60g/each, use 5 eggs).

   

5. 5 Fold the cake batter evenly.

   

6. 6 Add powdered sugar (white sugar is also acceptable) and salt to the egg whites all at once.

   

7. 7 Just hit this state.
