Step 1
Soak the egg yolks in corn oil one day in advance.Step 2
Soften the unsalted butter in advance until it can be pressed lightly with your fingers. Mix all the ingredients for the water-oil crust. If you don't like it too sweet, you can reduce the amount of white sugar.Step 3
Knead until you can pull out the hand mask, wrap it in plastic wrap and let it sit for half an hour.Step 4
Mix matcha powder and cake flour.Step 5
Then add the butter that has been softened in advance and knead until no dry powder is visible. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.Step 6
Wrap the lotus paste or purple sweet potato into the egg yolk. The egg yolk this time was of good quality, so I wrapped it directly without spraying it with white wine or baking it.Step 7
Cover the wrapped egg yolk filling with plastic wrap and set aside.Step 8
Divide the relaxed water-oil skin into 8 portions, each portion is 35 grams, and divide the pastry into 8 portions, each portion is 23 grams.Step 9
Wrap the watery and oily skin in the pastry one by one, and pinch tightly.Step 10
Roll into oval shape.Step 11
Roll up, seam side down, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes.Step 12
After the resting, the dough ends facing up.Step 13
Use the rolling pin to roll up from the middle and then down, until it becomes a long strip.Step 14
Roll up again.Step 15
With the seam still facing down, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes.Step 16
Cut the rested dough into two halves in the middle with a sharp knife. It is best to put a piece of oil paper underneath when cutting to avoid cutting the silicone pad.Step 17
The incision faces upward.Step 18
Flatten slightly with your hands.Step 19
Slowly push it up with the tiger's mouth, pinch the closing edge downwards, put on oil paper, and remove any excess dough at the closing edge.Step 20
