Sophora flower cake

Sophora flower cake

Overview

When the spring breeze gradually becomes warmer, the snow-white locust flowers hang on the branches in bunches, swaying flamboyantly in the warm wind. Like a string of small butterflies, tender and sweet, with a hint of mountain flavor. Picking up Sophora japonica flowers is like picking up elm coins. It was something I loved in spring when I was a kid. Picking up the petals from Sophora japonica flowers and stuffing them into your mouth brings out the sweet fragrance. When there are enough locust flowers, take them home and ask the adults to mix them with cornmeal, sprinkle with a little salt, mix well, steam them in a pot, and eat them with garlic paste after steaming. The sweet, refreshing taste is so fragrant. Many people are used to wrapping sophora flower cakes in batter and frying them into cakes. I feel that the sophora flower cakes made this way use too much flour, and the sophora flower cakes are not tender enough. Then let me talk about my recipe for pan-fried locust flower cake. I wash the locust flowers and control the water a little, then pour in dry flour and mix them so that each locust flower is covered with dry flour and becomes granular. Grip the Sophora japonica flowers into small loose balls, press them into dough balls, and fry over low heat. The sophora flower cake fried in this way has every bit of sophora flower visible, and the taste is sweet and soft.
