Chapter 82 Cream Cake and Egg Tart
"Aunts, the oven is ready to use. I just checked and you have preheated it. Today I will teach you how to make two new snacks. We need to make these snacks on the spot. We may need to arrange for a few aunts to go to town when the time comes."
"As for this snack, I plan to limit the supply, and everyone needs to learn how to make it, so that we can work in shifts and not be too tired. Do you agree?"
Yu Banxia said happily to the women who were busy in the kitchen.
Zhao was the first to respond: "You are the leader of our village, you will not let us suffer any loss. You tell us what to learn, and we will just follow you. Don't you agree?"
"Yes, Xia girl, whatever you say to do, we will learn it." The other women also responded quickly.
Yu Banxia smiled and said yes, then started to teach.
She was going to teach everyone how to make egg tarts and egg cakes, with cream in the middle, and these needed to be made fresh.
Fortunately, everyone had been making pastries for quite some time, so Yu Banxia first taught them how to make puff pastry and then how to extract butter.
As for the ancient method, one is to heat the milk and separate it.
One is natural fermentation, which does not require any complicated processes.
As for dairy cows, not long ago Yu Banxia released two cows, one male and one female, from the space.
When she was making goat milk and cow milk soap before, she bought a pair of cows and raised them in the space. Later, Xiaobai placed them in the acceleration area.
There are now a bunch of cows of all sizes in the space, not to mention sheep. On the hillside not far away, a large group of sheep are leisurely eating grass.
Very cheerful.
Now the villagers don’t ask anymore, they just ask if it was given by the Qian family. Where are the Qian family from? They came from Beijing.
Who would go out of their way to verify it?
"This is the cream I extracted earlier. After whipping it, it becomes like this." Yu Banxia demonstrated and the liquid cream quickly turned into solid cream.
Everyone looked at the white cream in amazement.
Yu Banxia gave them some to taste, and everyone thought it was delicious.
The puff pastry is ready and put into the ice cellar for freezing.
While the puff pastry was refrigerating, Yu Banxia baked a batch of egg cakes.
In fact, it is just changing steaming to baking, and you can just use the ready-made ones.
As the cake bakes, a sweet smell spreads.
The younger ones in the family had no interest in studying anymore and gathered around.
"Aunt, what is this? It smells so sweet." Hu Zi stared at the stove and asked Yu Banxia.
Yu Banxia touched his head and said with a smile: "It's a baked cake, different from a steamed cake. You'll know when you try it. It's delicious."
"Then when will it be better?" Hu Zi looked at Yu Banxia eagerly.
Yu Banxia thought about it and thought that it would be enough time for another cup of tea.
Hu Zi and the others began to look forward to it. Yu Hongwen smiled and shook his head. They were a bunch of greedy cats, but the smell was indeed tempting.
No wonder kids are drawn to it.
The adults looked at the children with smiles on their faces, and when the cake came out of the oven, not only the children but also the adults showed surprised expressions.
Isn’t this too fragrant?
"Try it, it's a little hot. Be careful and eat less. I'll make you a cream one later." Yu Banxia divided the cake.
Everyone held it in amazement. The cake was baked golden brown and crispy, but soft inside.
“It’s delicious. It’s really delicious.”
"The steamed cake is soft and crispy on the outside. It's really delicious."
"Our Xia Xia is really amazing. How did this little melon seed grow? It's really delicious."
Yu Banxia said as she spread butter on the cake, "There will be one more step later. I've asked my uncle to do it. Press the wax paper into this shape."
She took out a paper cake bowl and put the cake in it. It looked really good.
This thing is not strange in modern times, but it was a rare commodity in ancient times.
"This is good, beautiful and convenient. Can it be recycled?" an aunt suddenly asked.
Yu Banxia looked at her and joked, "A child has licked it before, how dare you use it?"
"I really don't dare. Haha, it sounds a bit disgusting." The aunt laughed, and everyone else followed suit.
"Try this." Yu Banxia handed over the prepared cream cake.
Yu Banyue learned to do it silently on the side. Even though both of them were very fast, they could only make more than ten.
Zhao finished eating, but did not rush to eat the cream cake. Instead, she wiped her hands and went forward to help.
When several women saw this, they hurried to imitate it.
The dozen or so were distributed to the children first. After receiving them, the children cheered happily: "Oh, oh, cream cakes. I'm going to find Xu Goudan and make him cry with greed."
"He was showing off a pig's trotter in front of me more than a month ago. Humph." The child's mother laughed and scolded unhappily after hearing this.
"Didn't your cousin give you food too?"
"Yes, then I'll give this to him." The child has also been receiving enlightenment at Yu's house recently and has learned a lot about etiquette.
Seeing this, the woman smiled with satisfaction, and Yu Banxia handed him another one: "Go ahead."
"Thank you, Sister Xia Xia." The child happily ran towards Xiaoxu Village with the cake.
Xu looked at Yu Banxia and wanted to thank her, but Yu Banxia just smiled at her and then smiled back without saying any words of thanks.
"Girl, this cream cake is delicious." Yu Hongwen also got one. After tasting it, he gave Yu Banxia a thumbs up.
"Dad, don't eat too much of this cream cake, or you'll feel sick of it. You can try the egg tart later." Yu Banxia said to his father.
Yu Hongwen agreed, and then called the children: "You naughty monkeys, go on to learn words, don't wait for Yu Hao, that naughty monkey."
"Yes, teacher." Hu Zi and others answered loudly. When they were in school, they didn't call grandpa but teacher.
Yu Hongwen laughed and invited them into the house.
Yu Banxia handed the cream cake to her aunts and sisters-in-law to make, and she went to the ice cellar.
After checking, I took the puff pastry back to the kitchen.
"How do we do this?" A group of aunts gathered around.
Yu Banxia took the dough and the puff pastry, mixed them and kneaded them, then formed them into the shape of a bowl. Because the puff pastry had been frozen, it would not become soft.
In a short while, she made several.
Several aunts also started to learn, and with strength in numbers, she finished the puff pastry very quickly.
Then they poured the egg tart liquid that had been prepared earlier into the skin. The women looked at each other in confusion. Wouldn’t it break or rot?
Then I saw her putting the egg tarts on an iron plate and putting them into the oven one by one.
"It's almost half an incense stick of time. Let's try the temperature for the first time." Yu Banxia covered his mouth with a wooden lid.
The woman who was lighting the fire nodded and started to light the fire.
Everyone was waiting quietly, and slowly a scent of milk spread out, attracting people who were working nearby to come in.
"What is going on? Why is it so fragrant that I can't even walk."
"It smells so good." The other man also sniffed.
