For Yang Shaoyue's frolic, Li Yi is already a little used to it.

Shaking his head with a smile, Li Yi took the lotus paste filling to the table where the puff pastry was placed.

The puff pastry and filling are ready, and the next step is to make the lotus cake.

Although they were frightened by the high-calorie lotus paste filling, Yang Shaoyue and the others were still full of curiosity about the [lotus cake] that Li Yi said could bloom like a lotus.

Seeing that Li Yi was ready to make it, they all gathered around curiously.

Zhao Jinmai had already taken out a whole large bag of puff pastry, and took out nearly three hundred sheets.

Li Yi put a pot of lotus paste filling next to him, and then pinched out a ball with his hands and kneaded it into a cone the size of marbles.

"That's it?"

Yang Shaoyue was a little surprised when he saw Li Yi's filling: "I thought it had to be as big as a moon cake!" ”

"Then eat one and you're full, is it still called a snack?"

Li Yi said, took a piece of puff pastry, and put the lotus paste filling of the cone on the puff pastry.

Then, while pinching the edge of the puff pastry, he closed his mouth and wrapped the filling little by little.

Looking at Li Yi's operation, Yang Shaoyue looked at it seriously.

But seeing that Li Yi just wrapped the puff pastry and stuffing into a droplet-shaped ball, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "This is not a lotus either!" ”

"How not?"

Li Yi held the round crisp embryo and asked with a smile: "Isn't this a flower bone?" ”

"Huh?"

Yang Shaoyue was a little disappointed: "This is too foolish, right?" I thought it was really a lotus, but it turned out to be a flower bone. ”

"It hasn't bloomed yet, of course it's a flower bone."

Li Yi smiled, took a small knife, cut it at the top of the pastry, flipped his wrist, and scratched a few irregular knife marks.

Then he set up the cauldron, scooped up two spoonfuls of lard and put them into the pot, and slowly boiled them over low heat.

The speed at which the low fire raised the oil temperature was very slow, but Li Yi was not in a hurry at all, just waited quietly.

The lard in the pan began to melt little by little, and the white solidified area gradually became smaller, and finally all of it turned into liquid grease.

At this time, the temperature of the oil in the pot is just 30%, almost 90°C.

Li Yi took a colander, put the finished puff pastry into the colander, and put it into the oil pot together.

When the pastry is put into the pot, it does not change at first, like a stone that has fallen into water.

But as the temperature changes, tiny bubbles emerge from around the pastry.

Seeing this, Li Yi opened his mouth to remind: "Attention, it's about to bloom." ”

Hearing his words, Yang Shaoyue and several others looked at him curiously.

I saw that the crisp embryo in the pot was accompanied by the rustling sound of oil, and it really began to speak slowly.

Seeing this, Li Yi slightly increased his firepower.

Soon, in the gap cut by Li Yi, the outer layer of puff pastry began to flip outward under the soft frying of oil temperature, like a blooming flower blooming the outermost petals.

"Huh? It's blooming! ”

Yang Shaoyue exclaimed.

Master Cai had already aimed the camera at the pot and presented the close-up in front of the audience.

"I knew it! It's definitely made with deep frying! ”

"It's beautiful! It's really the same as flowering! ”

"Wow! It's still on! ”

"It's amazing! It looks like a real flower! ”

In the exclamation of the audience, the second layer of puff pastry in the pot also began to flip, and the second layer of petals bloomed.

Seeing this, Li Yi immediately turned off the fire.

However, the oil temperature is heated for a short time, but it still provides plenty of heat.

Around the puff pastry in the pot, bubbles are everywhere, and the inner layer of puff pastry begins to bloom layer by layer, endlessly.

As if a close-up of a lotus flower blooming in a time-lapse photo, all the petal layers of the puff pastry bloom open, revealing the lotus paste filling inside.

The inverted cone lotus paste filling, like a small lotus room, is hidden in the center of the lotus petals.

Seeing that the lotus paste filling was exposed, Li Yi increased his firepower again.

In ancient times, there was no such convenient stove and firepower, and when frying [lotus cake], pay attention to three up and three down.

The so-called three up and three down means that the chef should bring down the pot and place the charcoal fire to continue to heat up when the oil temperature rises.

Then wait until the oil temperature is lower, then bring the pot to the stove and continue to heat up.

This process lasts three times, which is called three up and three down.

This kind of operation is undoubtedly very troublesome for chefs.

Fortunately, modern stoves can already adjust the flame, so there is no need for the chef to manually control the three up and three down.

With the increase of firepower, the crisp embryo in the pot has completely bloomed and turned into a blooming lotus flower.

Yang Shaoyue in the rear had already seen a little star in his eyes, and he folded his hands and exclaimed: "Wow! This one is really beautiful! ”

The other rocket girls were no better than her, and they all looked at the [Lotus Cake] in the pot in amazement, excited.

It was also the first time they had seen such delicate and elegant dim sum.

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Li Yi picked up the colander and took out the [Lotus Cake].

After controlling the oil, Li Yi took a plate and put the [Lotus Cake] on the plate.

The white plate makes the pink and bright [lotus cake] very attractive, as if it is really a lotus flower blooming on the water.

All the rocket girls, including Yang Shaoyue, took out their mobile phones and slapped at [Lotus Cake].

And Master Cai's lens is the first one to be scolded, and it is extremely detailed.

"Oh my god! This petal looks just like the real thing! ”

Yang Shaoyue covered his mouth and exclaimed, the mobile phone flashed one after another, and the continuous shooting mode had been turned on.

Other rocket girls also gathered around the plate, amazed while taking photos, and some raised their mobile phones and took selfies with [Lotus Cake].

In the live broadcast room, the audience who saw the finished product [Lotus Crisp], and the barrage of amazement also floated one after another.

"! Cow beep! ”

"It's all because I'm not educated, a cow beep goes to the world, this is a real cow beep!"

"I'm stupid, if I hadn't watched it explode with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there is such a magical pastry in the world."

"Is this really food? It's a work of art, right? ”

"Mom! I always thought that mille-feuille was very good, compared to this, it was simply scum! ”

"No wonder Chinese pastries can't be sold in Western baking, how many people can make this kind of pastry?"

"That's the real luxury!"

In front of the camera, Li Yi didn't care about saying a few words, and was squeezed aside by Yang Shaoyue and them.

Zhao Jinmai held his mobile phone and stood beside Li Yi, looking at it with blank eyes.

She wanted to shoot too, but she didn't squeeze in.

"Let me see? Let me see? ”

Wu Lei had just finished washing the food processor at this time, wiped his hands and ran over.

But [Lotus Cake] was already surrounded by Yang Shaoyue and a few people, and he couldn't get in.

However, he was taller and had long hands, and after looking at a gap, he reached in, and pinched the [Lotus Cake] in his hand and picked it up.

The slender [Lotus Cake] petals were crushed several layers on the spot, and seeing this scene, the rocket girls all screamed.

"Ahh Don't! ”

"Be careful!"

"You crushed it!"

Wu Lei didn't care, just looked at the [Lotus Cake] in his hand and exclaimed: "It's really good-looking!" Brother Yi, you are too good! ”

After speaking, he directly stuffed the [Lotus Cake] into his mouth in the eyes of Yang Shaoyue and the others who could kill.

Click!

He took a bite, and the crispy sound of [Lotus Crisp] was clearly heard by everyone present.
