Taizhou hemp cake

Taizhou sesame cake, sweet and salty, was originally a single-sided sesame, and then selected black and white sesame seeds were dipped in both sides, hence the name "double-colored sesame cake". Two-color sesame cake was founded in Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty. It has both sweet and salty flavors, golden color, crisp texture and endless aftertaste. Traditional raw material formula (making 100 pieces): white flour 2:35 unit weight peeled white sesame seeds 200 unit weight yeast seeds 225 unit weight refined salt 60 unit weight shallot 1 unit weight edible alkali 12:5 unit weight oil residue 400 unit weight peanut oil 850 unit weight peeled black sesame seeds 200 unit weight cooked lard 250 unit weight Method 1: Flour (1:6 unit weight) Add 600 units weight of 80℃ hot water, mix with the yeast, add alkali liquor (dissolve the edible alkali with 50 units weight of boiling water) after fermentation, knead until the dough is smooth, and can be used when there is a "bang" sound. Put the rest flour in a bowl and use peanut oil (250 unit weight) to make crispy noodles. 2: Wash shallots and cut them into fine powder. Chop the oil residue, add refined salt, cooked lard and chopped green onion and mix into stuffing. 3. Knead the dough into strips of 66 cm, then press it with the palm of your hand to a width of 17 cm, then knead the crispy noodles into corresponding strips, put them on them, roll them horizontally into long strips and knead them for a long time, and pick up 100 noodles with the same size. Flatten the dough (about 6 cm in diameter) and lay it flat on the root of the left finger, with the stuffing center (about 15 unit weight) in the center of the dough, and fold the four fingers of the left hand to contain it, and pinch it tightly with the thumb and forefinger of the right hand to form an oval cake blank with a length of 6 cm. Put black and white sesame seeds into a rectangular wooden flat plate, spread them evenly, brush the rolled flour cake with water on both sides successively, and dip them in black and white sesame seeds respectively, thus forming a double-sided cake. 4. Heat the round large flat pan over medium heat, put the sesame cake neatly into the pan, add peanut oil and fry it, turning it from time to time until the sesame cake bulges and becomes golden brown. The product features golden color and crisp texture, and can also be sweetened with diced pork plate oil, soft sugar and bean paste or jujube paste, which are supplied to the market after Tomb-Sweeping Day every year.
