Mix fresh milk, sugar, and eggs together until smooth. Filter the mixture several times, skimming off any excess air bubbles for a better texture.
Ideally, it would be best to bake it in an oven, but that was definitely not feasible, so Ye Ran came up with an alternative method.
First, make a fire in the stove, then hollow out the inside, sweep it clean with a broom, and finally put the egg tarts inside.
Ye Ran secretly calculated the time in her mind, and then quickly took out the egg tarts when she saw that it was almost time.
The moment the egg tarts came out of the oven, their irresistible aroma filled everyone's nostrils. Hou Zhiqiang swallowed hard. "Girl, what kind of trick is this? I've never seen a dessert like this before in all my years!"
"It's nothing. I came up with this after reading some books and thinking about it for a long time when I had nothing to do. I call it egg tart."
"Egg tart? Ha! Girl, you really are a cultured person. Even the name you came up with sounds so nice. Not only does it sound nice, it looks delicious too!" Ji Yin exclaimed, somewhat convinced.
"No way! Here, Brother Hou, Sister Ji, you should all try some first!" Ye Ran said, handing one to each of them.
The two quickly declined, saying, "No, we need to keep it for business! It smells so good, it must taste delicious! We can't let it go to waste."
Ye Ran insisted, "How can it be considered wasteful if we eat it ourselves? Besides, you can give me your feedback after you've eaten it! With your feedback, we can do better next time!"
Upon reflection, the two realized it was indeed true, and since they really wanted to eat it, they hurriedly took the egg tarts from Ye Ran's hands. The moment they tasted them, their eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
"Girl, I'm not exaggerating, our business is absolutely going to explode! Your cooking is amazing! I've never eaten anything so delicious before! Even the imperial chefs who used to cook for the emperor couldn't have made it as well as you!"
Ji Yin covered her mouth in amazement, "That's right, the outer crust of this pastry is crispy and crunchy, while the inside is smooth and tender. It's so fragrant, crispy, and smooth, it's so delicious!"
Ye Ran smiled, her eyes crinkling, "It's not as exaggerated as you all say! I still have a lot of room for improvement!"
Ye Ran tried one herself and frowned slightly. Although it tasted very good because of the fresh ingredients and dew, and even surpassed all the egg tarts she had eaten in her previous life in terms of flavor, the crust was not crispy enough and the fusion with the egg liquid was not perfect because there was no oven. So, for Ye Ran, it was indeed a little bit lacking.
She silently thought to herself that she needed to discuss with Hou Zhiqiang about setting up a grill in the yard.
After making the egg tarts, she immediately poured a little oil into the pan, heated it up, then turned the heat to low and arranged the glutinous rice strips in it, leaving some space between each strip as they would expand while frying.
Then, fry over low heat until both sides are golden brown, then remove and put into a pre-prepared oil paper bag.
It was also served separately with soybean powder and brown sugar syrup.
It's best to eat it immediately after sprinkling soybean powder and syrup, otherwise the soybean powder will become damp and the texture will deteriorate, affecting the crispness of the glutinous rice cake.
After Ye Ran finished, Hou Zhiqiang set off without saying a word, carrying all the prepared items.
Ye Ran felt a little nervous, but more confident in her skills. Ji Yin also had a lot of confidence in her and chatted with her without any worries.
But before they could even exchange a few words, Hou Zhiqiang rushed back.
Seeing Hou Zhiqiang hurrying away, the two were a little surprised and nervous. He had only been out for a short time, could something have happened to him?
Before Hou Zhiqiang could even catch his breath, he urged, "Sister, stop resting! Make more! Our pastries are selling so well. Many people smell them and buy them by the dozen without asking any questions. I just arrived and they're all gone! There are still so many people waiting!"
Ye Ran and Ji Yin jumped up with joy and quickly got back to work...
