Jujube lotus leaf clip

Introduction:

"Steamed lotus leaf clip" in Beijing pasta was first spread in the Northern Song Dynasty. After the Ming Dynasty, the lotus leaf clip was listed as a sacrifice. Later, on the table of Eight Immortals in the bridal chamber of the newlyweds, this kind of pasta was also placed, which means "he man". In addition to the lotus leaf clip, a pair of red candles, peanuts, jujubes, chestnuts, dumplings and candy are usually placed on the wedding table. The lotus leaf clip is wrapped with dried fruit preserves such as dates, walnuts and longan, which means that the young couple should live a happy life and have a good son early. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Quanjude roast duck restaurant in Beijing just started business. At that time, instead of the current lotus leaf cake, the roast duck was served with a lotus leaf clip steamed with flour. When eating the roast duck, the lotus leaf clip was broken off, and then the duck meat was eaten inside. At that time, the roast duck shop changed the method of lotus leaf clip a little, just smearing a little oil on the rolled dough, then folding it in half, pressing out patterns on it, and then steaming it, instead of putting dry fruits and preserves. In those days, the best time to put the lotus leaf on the plate was the best time to put the slices on the plate. But later, because the children of the eight banners were extravagant and wasteful, most of them didn't eat lotus leaf clips. Instead, they used these beautiful and soft lotus leaf clips to wipe their mouths and then discarded them. What a pity! In order to reduce waste, the boss came up with an idea and invented the lotus leaf cake, which greatly reduced the waste of food. Today, we will make this "Honey date lotus leaf clip" which is the most ancient and Traditional Hairstyle food in Beijing and Tianjin. In fact, it is very simple to make
