Walnut shortbread(he tao su )

Walnut shortbread

Introduction:

"It has long been a thing of the past for old Beijingers to visit relatives and friends with snack boxes on New Year's day. In the past, the snack box was a good thing in poverty, but now there are still many memories of old Beijingers! "Taosu" used to be invented by imperial chefs in the palace. It's not clear who it is. It is said that during the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty, there were two chief assistants in Jiangxi, Xia Yan and Yan Song. They were loyal and annihilated. After Xia Yan was promoted, Yan Song was jealous, so he designed to frame Xia Yan. Xia Yan was killed and his family was separated. Some of his descendants escaped by chance and started the business of Taosu in anonymity. It was they who handed down the technology of making Taosu in the palace. "

Materials required:

Standard powder: 300g

Peanut oil: 80g

Lard: 60g

Egg: 50g

Walnut: 100g

Sugar: 150g

Soda: 3 G

Baking powder: 2G

Note: 1. Because the dough is easy to break up, you should hold it into a ball by hand, and then press it into a cake shape on the chopping board to make the cracks around the cake natural. Don't deliberately make the shape so that it is easy to break. Then use a thin lifting shovel or other wide shovel to shovel the cake into the baking pan. It's OK to press the cake in the baking pan. The reason why I make it on the chopping board is that if the cake is broken, it can be made again, so that I don't have to clean up the mess from the baking pan! 2. After baking, the crisp peach is soft and should not be moved directly by hand. Take out the baking pan from the oven and cool it down a little. Take it out with a spatula or a small spatula. After air cooling, it will be shaped naturally and crisp. If it will be harder after baking, it will prove a failure. It will be harder after cooling. This is because there is something wrong with the ratio of materials. It is possible to add more water or eggs because it is not easy to form. The big stir fry spoon is a traditional old thing in Beijing, ha ha! Hope you like it!
