A mouthful of fried rice at a sky-high price, Old Tang apprenticed on the spot

Chapter 441 Daigo and Thousand Layer Biscuits

Just when Li Yi finished frying the stuffing with five kernels, the sheep suddenly called out: "Brother Yi, do you think this syrup is ready?"

Hearing the sound, Li Yi came to the sugar pot and took a look.

I saw that the syrup in the pot had started to turn slightly yellow, and the bubbles floating below had become the size of sesame seeds, and the speed of floating upwards was much slower. It could be clearly felt that the syrup had become much thicker.

Seeing this, Li Yi nodded and said: "This level of syrup is already transformed, but we are going to make the mooncake crust, it is best to make the color darker.

You keep staring, and call me again when it turns the color of sesame oil and starts to bubble again. "

"it is good."

The sheep responded, and continued to stare at the syrup in the pot, and took out the mobile phone to take pictures from time to time to record the changing state.

This is a rare practical experience, and she wants to record it all.

After continuing to boil for 10 minutes, the syrup has turned to the color of sesame oil.

Seeing the air bubbles rising again in the pot, she turned her head and shouted, "Brother Yi, it's already the color of sesame oil!"

Li Yi was making noodles, when he heard this, he rubbed the lint off his hands, and returned to the stove.

Taking a look at the state of the syrup in the pot, he ordered: "I have dough in my hand, it's not easy to get it out, you go and pour a bowl of pure water first."

According to what he said, the sheep poured a bowl of clean water and brought it in front of him.

"Put it here."

Li Yi raised his chin as a signal, and then ordered: "That bag is baking soda, take it here, use that small spoon to scoop out a four-level spoon, pour it into a bowl, yes, scrape it flat, don't press it."

"Oh, just pour it in?"

Yang Yang mixed a bowl of baking soda water according to what he said, and then poured it directly into the pot under Li Yi's command.

When the soda water was poured into the pot, the syrup in the pot suddenly boiled, and large streams of bubbles surged.

"Stir, stir quickly."

Li Yi told the sheep: "Don't be afraid, now that the transformation is complete, there will be no sand back, you have to stir it evenly as soon as possible."

"Why soda?"

Sheep frantically stirred the syrup according to Li Yi's instructions, and couldn't help asking.

"The invert syrup is best used when it is boiled until it is slightly yellow. Now the color is a bit too thick, and it needs to be diluted with water."

Li Yi explained: "The purpose of adding baking soda is to neutralize the acid in the syrup, otherwise the skin will taste very sour and affect the taste."

"oh, I see!"

The sheep kept stirring in her hands. Seeing the foam floating on the surface of the syrup, she couldn't help asking: "Didn't you say that the foam will crystallize? Is it okay to have so many bubbles like this?"

"Now that the syrup has been converted, basically there will be no counter sanding."

Li Yi smiled and said: "And I asked you to stir quickly, just to make the air bubbles float to the surface as much as possible.

After adding water to dilute, the air bubbles will not be suspended in the syrup.

As long as these bubbles float on the surface, they will slowly burst by themselves, so don't worry. "

Hearing what he said, the sheep felt relieved.

After watching her stir the syrup evenly, Li Yi ordered her to turn off the fire, pour out the syrup, and put it in the freezer to cool down.

But Li Yi himself returned to the desk and continued to make up.

Sheep put the syrup away, returned to the stove, glanced at the detailed notepad on the phone, and felt quite a sense of accomplishment.

Putting away the phone happily, she came to Li Yi's side, looked at the dough in the basin in front of Li Yi, and asked curiously, "What is this for?"

"Thousand-layer Sesame Biscuits."

As Li Yi said, he usually kneaded the dough in the basin vigorously.

Under his strength, the dough was very obedient, and quickly mixed from rough flour into a unified dough.

"Seed cakes?"

Hearing this, the sheep hesitated: "Isn't it possible to make sesame seed cakes at home?"

Hearing this, Li Yi kept his hands in his hands, glanced at her, and said with a smile, "Why? Don't you like the sesame seed cakes I made?"

"No, no! I didn't mean that."

Sheep explained: "I just think that sesame seed cakes are a bit too ordinary, right? Would it seem inappropriate to put them in front of desserts like [Lotus Crisp] and [Magnolia Crisp]?"

"You want to say that sesame seed cakes can't be served on the counter, right?"

Li Yi glanced at her with a smile, and then said: "The more delicate the pastry, the better. If you can handle the simplest ingredients well, you can make them delicious.

As the saying goes, from the avenue to simplicity, back to the basics, the highest state of pastry is not the delicate pastries, but the simplest steamed buns.

Besides, how do you know that the biscuits I made are not as delicious as [Lotus Crisp]? "

Hearing what he said, the sheep had nothing to say, and could only smile and cup his fists: "Okay, I was wrong."

Seeing this, Li Yi also smiled, and explained: "Just kidding, in fact, this biscuit is also very particular.

It is the predecessor of pastry, and it is a transitional product of traditional biscuits and various pastries, and its position in pastry is still relatively important.

And it tastes delicious too, you'll know when you try it later. "

While speaking, he had kneaded the dough until smooth and pliable.

Feeling the strength of the rebound, Li Yi flipped it upside down under the basin with his backhand, letting it sit on his own.

Taking another small basin, Li Yi poured some flour into it, and then took out a piece of butter.

Seeing Li Yi take out the butter, Yang Yang was a little surprised: "Do you want butter in the biscuits?"

In the videos she shoots, butter is often used to reproduce some Western-style food.

But butter is commonly used in western pastry. Butter is put in traditional biscuits. Is it still Chinese pastry?
Hearing her question, Li Yi smiled and said, "This is not butter, it's Daigo."

"what?"

The sheep didn't understand, and was a little confused: "What pot?"

"Daigo."

Li Yi explained with a smile: "The one who was enlightened."

"???"

The sheep was even more confused: "Isn't this butter?"

"Yes, it's butter, but in ancient times, it was called Daigo."

Li Yi opened the butter wrapper, took a pot, cut the butter into small pieces, put it in, and explained: "Actually, the word crisp came from outside the domain, and it originally meant a kind of dairy product.

It is said in the "Mahaparinirvana Sutra" that milk is produced from cows, butter is produced from milk, crisps are born from buttercream, cooked crisps are born from raw Jesus, and sorghum is produced from cooked crisps.

This is the process of refining the daigo by referring to the scriptures to describe the process of gradually improving the understanding of wisdom, but it can also learn how to make the daigo.

The so-called cheese is a fermented milk product, the kind with slightly coagulated protein, which is somewhat similar to kumiss, which was called buttermilk in ancient times.

Crisp is whipped cream, and Daigo is purer butter.

Only one stone that is so crispy can have three or four liters of daigo, which is mentioned in "Xinxiu Materia Medica". "

Hearing Li Yi's explanation, Yang Yang became even more confused: "Okay, even if it's Daigo, what does it have to do with biscuits? You want to use butter to make biscuits?"

"I'm going to use it to make thousand-layer sesame biscuits."

Li Yi turned on the fire and boiled the butter in the pot: "This biscuit is made of butter. It is said that it is specially made for Master Xuanzang."

Hearing this, the sheep was completely dumbfounded.

There were also bullet screens flying in the live broadcast room.

"Why did you go to the West to learn scriptures again? Could it be that I, Sun Dasheng, did it?"
