Chapter 141: Hawthorn Cake
Due to the large number of hawthorns, Yu Yuanhuan and Angelica were too busy.
So Yu Yuanyuan called the cooks over and instructed them how to corre the hawthorn.
The cooks got started quickly, and in a short time they processed a pot full of hawthorn.
Cut the hawthorn in half, put it in water, and cook over low heat until soft.
Once the hawthorn has cooled, mash it with the remaining juice and stir it into a puree.
Since there is no mixer, the whole process can only be mixed by hand.
By the time this step was completed, Yu Xuan was already tired of sweating.
She poured the hawthorn puree into the pot, added an appropriate amount of sugar, and simmered over low heat.
The puree was boiled thicker and thicker, bubbling and bubbling, and the air was filled with the sweet and sour taste of hawthorn.
Angelica sniffed.
Just smelling this smell makes your mouth flutter.
Feeling almost, Yu Yuan said, "Give me the lotus root powder." ”
Angelica immediately brought a cloth bag filled with lotus root powder.
She took out a little and poured it into a bowl, then added a little cool and boiled to melt the lotus root powder.
Yu took the bowl and poured the water into the pot, stirring continuously.
At this point, the hawthorn puree has become extremely viscous.
Yu Xuan picked up the iron pot, poured the puree into a large bowl, and then placed it in a cool place to let it cool naturally.
Then it's the sugar gourd's turn.
Yu Yuanxuan first boiled a large pot of syrup with sugar and water.
When the syrup turns brown, she rolls the skewered hawthorn in the syrup.
When I took it out again, the surface of the red hawthorn was already covered with a layer of crystal clear sugar coating.
So a bunch of sugar gourds is ready.
She put the sugar gourd on a plate and continued to make the second and third strings......
In addition to the most common sugar gourds, she also made fruit-like sugar gourds, that is, the larger hawthorns were picked out, cut in half, sandwiched with fruit in the middle, and then coated with sugar.
Angelica stared unblinking.
Yu Yuanyu saw that she looked eager to try, so he said to her.
"Would you like to try it too?"
Anyway, the syrup has already been fried, and there is no need to do anything else, just put the sugar gourd into the syrup and roll it around, which is a very simple operation, and Yu Yuanyuan is not worried that Angelica will mess up.
Angelica was excited.
She took Yu's place, picked up a string of hawthorns, carefully dipped them in the syrup, and then followed Yu's appearance, pinched the end of the bamboo stick, rolled the hawthorn in a circle, and then slowly took it out.
Angelica immediately looked at Yu Yuanxuan, and when he saw the other party nodding in approval, Angelica was overjoyed.
She's learned to make sugar gourds!
Although she has lost her memory, she doesn't know where she came from or what kind of person she used to be.
But she wasn't discouraged by that, because she knew she was lucky.
She was lucky enough to meet Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuanyuan gave her her name, took her from Bashu to Yujing, and let her eat a lot of delicious food.
Every day of her life is happy and fulfilling.
She even thinks it's good to go on like this.
The hawthorn puree in the bowl has cooled thoroughly and solidified.
Yu Xuan twisted it upside down on the board, and the paste inside was poured out.
It has a deep red color, and when you poke it with your finger, it will also shake slightly, and it will look like a large piece of jelly.
Yu Yuanxuan cut it into small pieces, put it on a plate, and at the end did not forget to put a heart shape with the petals.
The lotus root flour hawthorn cake is done!
She took the hawthorn cake to find the king of Langjun.
"Bao, try my new hawthorn cake."
