Chapter 66: Cake Battle (Part II)
In the kitchen of the Shen family.
"I'll show you that, and then you'll see for yourself if you can do it yourself. Li Chen, who was dressed in clean kitchen clothes, looked at everyone and said.
"Yes, understood. Everyone who was also wearing clean kitchen clothes nodded, and Bai Xiaohua also changed into this body at this time.
Li Chen nodded, and then looked at the ingredients in front of him.
"The birthday cake is divided into two parts: cake and cream, now make the cake first. ”
"The first step is to make cake flour, which is cake mix. ”
Li Chen took a steamer, put some water in it, and spent more than 10 minutes boiling it.
During the boiling period, Li Chen took a white cloth, put about half a catty of flour on the cloth, and then wrapped it in a cloth. It doesn't need to be tightly wrapped here, it just needs to be completely covered.
When the water boiled, Li Chen put a steamer on top of the boiling water, then put the packet of flour on top, and finally covered the steamer.
"The flour sold in the market has a high protein content, and the reason why I make cake flour is because the protein content of cake flour is about 8%, so the gluten is very weak. ”
"The cake made from this kind of cake flour will swell in size, and it will be very soft when pressed, and the surface will be flat. Li Chen explained this, and then pointed to the flour heated in the steamer, "The reason for wrapping the flour in gauze is because you don't want the moisture inside the steamer to drip into the flour, so you should pay attention here." ”
"En!" everyone in the audience nodded like chickens pecking rice, looking at Li Chen with admiration.
"The next thing is to be patient, and it will take about half an hour. ”
The crowd waited patiently.
Half an hour later.
Li Chen took the flour packet out of the steamer and opened it.
He reached out and pinched the flour in the flour packet, and it felt like it was already lumpy, but it was normal.
"Knead the clumps of flour and let them cool in a ventilated place. Li Chen said and did it, and put it aside.
"Let's wait for it to cool first, and now let's do the second part in advance, which is the cream part. ”
"The cream part is simple, get two clean bowls and then some eggs. ”
The vitality on Li Chen's right hand appeared, and with a gesture of stretching out his hand, two bowls and three lark eggs not far away flew over under the coercion of the vitality.
Two bowls were placed on the table in front of Li Chen, and the three lark eggs were floating in Li Chen's hands.
"Break the three lark eggs and separate the shells. Li Chen said and moved his right hand slightly.
I saw that the eggshells of these three white lark eggs were directly shattered by the air, and then broke away from the surface of the lark eggs and were thrown into the trash can on the side by Li Chen.
The egg yolk that was mixed together remained in its original state in mid-air, and then naturally separated under the manipulation of Li Chen's vitality, and finally the egg yolk fell lightly into a bowl, but the egg white was still floating on Li Chen's right hand.
Looking at all this he controlled, Li Chen really felt quite emotional in his heart!
Tsk, please call me Genki Chef~
The egg whites are clean and the yolks are bright golden.
And maybe because this lark egg was born from a third-order demon beast, even if this egg white yolk was raw, everyone present smelled a faint aroma.
He was a little surprised, but his movements did not stop.
"Stir the lark egg whites well. Li Chen said, the egg white floating in his hand slowly rotated under the effect of vitality, and it looked like there was a waterspout in Li Chen's hand, oh no, it should be an egg white tornado.
The egg white tornado spun for about a minute, and Li Chen stopped running. He looked at the tornado and nodded quickly.
"Look. He pointed to the floating egg white, "Just stir the egg white until there is a small layer of bubbles on the surface." ”
Everyone looked carefully, and sure enough, they saw that there was already a small layer of bubbles on the surface of the egg white.
Everyone nodded.
Seeing this move with his left hand, three things flew out of the various condiments in the distance, and floated in front of Li Chen.
One is a trace amount of salt, one is a drop of white vinegar, and the last is a spoonful of sugar.
Li Chen put them into the egg whites, and then continued to turn them into a tornado, slowly stirring and blending.
A minute later.
"When the egg white fusion is thick, add another spoonful of sugar. Li Chen said, and then added a spoonful of sugar.
Then another minute passed, "When it feels like the egg whites are thicker than just now, add another spoonful of sugar and continue to stir well." ”
This time, the stirring lasted a little long, about three or four minutes.
After three or four minutes, Li Chen put the stirred egg white into the bowl in front of him.
At this time, the whipped egg white was exactly the same as the milky white cream in the previous life.
Li Chen took a small spoon from the side, then inserted it, and when he brought it out, he saw that the cream in the bowl had been pulled up with the spoon being removed.
Li Chen tasted the cream on the spoon, and his face showed satisfaction.
Yes, it seems that although the raw materials are different, the taste has not only not decreased, but has improved due to the improvement of the grade of the raw materials!
"That's it, and that's it. Li Chen looked at everyone.
"Can you taste it?" Bai Xiaohua was the first to say positively, and her Adam's apple couldn't help but move up and down.
Others, including Mu Yu, looked at the bowl of cream expectantly.
"Well...... No, I'll let you eat it when it's ready. Li Chen said with a smile.
"Ah~That's it~" Bai Xiaohua's face showed disappointment, but she quickly became active again, "Then the patriarch should go on!"
"Yes. Li Chen nodded, and then with a move with his left hand, the flour that had been cooled not far away and another spoon-like utensil also flew into Li Chen's hand.
He pointed to the spoon full of small holes with his left hand and said, "I call this a sifting spoon, which is used to sift these flours." ”
As Li Chen spoke, he put the already cooled flour into the spoon, and with a gentle shake, the more delicate flour was sifted out of these small holes and landed in a clean bowl.
"This makes the cake mix suitable for making cakes and completes. ”
Ignoring these cake mixes for the time being, Li Chen controlled the three huge egg yolks that had been placed for a while on his right hand, and then with a move of his left hand, two white slender 'rivers' flew in the distance.
The name of a river is 'Sugar'.
The other river is called 'Milk'. ’
"Add the milk and sugar to the egg yolk and slowly stir it to combine. As Li Chen spoke, the two rivers were partially disconnected and flew into the three huge egg yolks
Start stirring.
"After stirring well, add a little corn oil. Li Chen summoned a slender river of corn oil and slowly stirred it with the egg yolk to make it fully integrated.
"After stirring and blending, the cake mix is evenly sifted into the egg yolk paste through a sifting spoon and stirred into a fine egg yolk paste without particles!"
"Now that the basic process is mostly complete, there is only one last step left. ”
"What steps?" the crowd asked.
"Roast. Li Chen said, and then controlled the egg yolk paste to a place to stir-fry.
Simply lit it in the air, Li Chen controlled the egg yolk paste to form a low cylinder, and slowly roasted it on top of the flame.
Time passed slowly, and a rich aroma from wheat began to spread over the small kitchen.
Everyone took a hard breath of the aroma, and then reveled, "It's so fragrant." ”
"I'm suddenly a little hungry, what about you?" Luo Jin asked, touching his stomach.
"Me too. ”
"I'm hungry too. ”
Everyone looked at each other, and finally their eyes greedily locked on the cake that was still above the flames. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
