Egg yolk cake

Overview

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I was going to make mooncakes to give away. I happened to see a recipe for egg yolk cakes on a public account. It was Yan Zaoxi’s recipe, so I couldn’t help but try it. The result was a rough calculation, and I had to give away 150 of them. This Mid-Autumn Festival is so tiring😭. If you want to ensure a good taste, try to choose a brand with ingredients in the recipe. Otherwise, how can you taste the best egg yolk cakes, which are said to sell more than 1,000 pieces a day

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the outer mud of the duck egg mud shell, throw away any broken ones and do not use them

   

2. 2 Take out the egg yolk and clean the membrane on the egg yolk with your hands, pour in white wine and marinate for two minutes to remove the fishy smell of the egg yolk

   

3. 3 Bake at 180°C for 5 to 10 minutes until the egg yolks are oily, then cool and set aside. If you do not use white wine to soak, you can spray white wine before baking. It is best to take it out and spray it again when baking. If you spray less, the baked egg yolk will have a slight fishy smell

   

4. 4 Mix cake flour, high-gluten flour, caster sugar, water and butter

   

5. 5 Mix cake flour, high-gluten flour, caster sugar, water and butter, and knead to form gluten

   

6. 6 Wrap the kneaded dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for half an hour

   

7. 7 Mix flour and butter

   

8. 8 Knead until there is no dry flour

   

9. 9 Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it sit for about 15 minutes

   

10. 10 Divide the bean paste into 25g pieces

    

11. 11 Take a piece of bean paste, flatten an egg yolk bean paste, wrap the egg yolk in the middle, and knead it into a ball

    

12. 12 Wear PVC gloves when wrapping the egg yolks. The bean paste will not stick to your hands. Looking at the bean paste dumplings on the table, it feels like the legendary "Daliwan" 😂

    

13. 13 After the bean paste is wrapped, it’s time to make the pastry. Divide the pastry into 15 pieces each, and divide the pastry into 10 grams each

    

14. 14 Take one piece of dough and one piece of puff pastry, wrap the puff pastry in the puff pastry and roll it into a ball

    

15. 15 Take a piece of wrapped dough, press it lightly with your hands, and roll it into a long strip

    

16. 16 After rolling it up from one side, place it vertically, roll it up again, and place it

    

17. 17 Let the rolled dough rest for 20 minutes, covering it with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out

    

18. 18 Flatten the rested dough and roll it into a piece. Wrap the "daliwan" in the dough like bean paste and egg yolk. Tighten the mouth and place it with the mouth facing down

    

19. 19 Put it into the baking pan, brush the top layer with egg yolk, brush it twice to prevent cracking during baking, and don’t put it so densely that it will stick together when baking

    

20. 20 Brush with egg yolk and sprinkle with black sesame seeds

    

21. 21 Bake the middle rack of the oven at 180°C for 15 minutes, then bake at 200% for 30 minutes (my oven has low power, so the temperature needs to be raised and the time extended. The original recipe is to bake at 170°C for 10 minutes, 190°C for 20 minutes, and finally change to the upper layer and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes for coloring)

    

22. 22 Let the baked egg yolk cake cool before eating or packaging and giving away
