After eavesdropping on my thoughts, the food lovers all over the country were shocked

"The most important thing about Jiying soft pancake is the Jiying filling. Before making the pancake, you have to prepare the filling first."

Shen Huazheng demonstrated how to prepare the filling in front of Zhou Ying and Princess Lejia. She added fresh duck eggs into a porcelain bowl and poured in coconut milk and white sugar.

Then mix them evenly together and pass them through a sieve again.

Princess Lejia stared at the orange-yellow egg liquid the whole time without blinking.

"Zheng Zheng, why do we need to sift?"

Princess Lejia discovered that Shen Huazheng sometimes liked to sift the fillings when making them. For example, when making egg tarts, she would also sift the egg tart liquid through the sieve on both sides.

Shen Huazheng: "Sieving is to make the chicken filling more delicate. In addition to the filling, many ingredients will be more delicate after sifting. When making red bean paste and egg white almond tea, if you sift it once, the taste will be smoother. Sometimes sprinkle flour is also sifted, and the same principle applies."

Princess Lejia nodded: "So that's how it is."

She silently noted this key point in her mind: sifting can make the taste of the ingredients more delicate.

Zhou Ying's attention was all on the chicken filling. Based on her experience, the filling should be very fragrant when cooked.

The next step is to steam the chicken filling, which is slightly different from the previous steps of making the filling.

Qingzhi picked up a pot as instructed, then poured an appropriate amount of water into it. After boiling, he put the evenly stirred chicken liquid into the pot and steamed it.

After about half a quarter of an hour, Shen Huazheng opened the lid of the pot and gently stirred the slightly solidified egg liquid with a spoon.

Then cover the pot again and continue steaming.

Thinking that the time was about right, Shen Huazheng asked someone to take the food out of the pot.

As soon as you open the lid of the pot, a sweet aroma of eggs hits you.

At this time, the chicken filling in the pot has been steamed and turned into a paste.

Everyone in the kitchen couldn't help but breathe in the sweet scent floating in the air. It smelled so good! !

Shen Huazheng asked someone to take the chicken filling out of the pot and set it aside to cool for later use.

The chicken filling is ready, and the next step is to make the outer layer of the pastry.

Princess Lejia had already memorized the recipe for the chicken filling, and now seeing Shen Huazheng preparing to make the crust, she became more alert.

She had to memorize the recipe of this snack so that she could make it for her grandmother when she returned home.

Zhou Ying looked at the ingredients that Shen Huazheng had prepared: "Zheng'er, is the crust of the Jiying soft pancake also made of glutinous rice flour?"

Shen Huazheng nodded: "Yes, the outer layer of the Jiying soft pancake is made of glutinous rice, and it tastes soft and sticky. That's why it's called a "soft pancake."

Zhou Ying nodded. No wonder it was called soft pancake.

Princess Lejia blinked her eyes and said: Zhengzheng, is the crust of this chicken-shaped soft pancake the same as other glutinous rice crust pastries? "

Zhou Ying also looked at Shen Huazheng, waiting for her answer.

Although many of the snacks they had eaten were made with glutinous rice, just like the various spring-specific snacks they had eaten during this period.

But for some reason, she always felt that this chicken-shaped soft pancake, whether it was the filling or the method of making the crust, was a little different from other snacks.

Shen Huazheng smiled and said, "It's still a little different. You'll know in a moment."

Qingtang lit another pot, poured in an appropriate amount of water and then added sugar, and immediately poured in the glutinous rice flour that had been prepared after boiling.

Stir thoroughly until there is no dry powder left, then add butter.

Stir quickly and evenly, kneading repeatedly until the dough completely absorbs the butter.

Under Qingtang's kneading, the dough quickly became smooth and soft.

She put the dough in a porcelain bowl, and Shen Huazheng asked someone to find a piece of cloth to cover the dough and set it aside to rise.

Princess Lejia & Zhou Ying:? つ ?_? ?つ

It is indeed a little different from the previous pie crust methods.

Although they are all made of glutinous rice skin and filled with fillings, this chicken ying soft pancake should be different from the tea cakes and green rice balls I tasted before.

"Ayan, you have worked hard during this period. Brother Huang will allow you a few days off. Go back and spend time with the princess and Ran'er."

Emperor Jingning has been in a good mood these past two days, and he smiles every time he sees Prince An.

Yan Yan led the Southwestern Army to a beautiful victory.

The Dongyi people sent letters of surrender to Daliang one after another. The surrounding countries were frightened and rushed to show goodwill to Daliang.

Now that Nangong Han, the former regent of the State of Chen who had been causing trouble in Daliang, had been dealt with, the anger that Emperor Jingning had been holding in his heart was finally released.

Oh, no matter who he is, if he dares to reach out to the beam, he must be prepared to be chopped off.

Who made them so despicable as to come and provoke Daliang? Not only did they cause trouble at the border, they also wanted to kidnap Shen Huazheng.

If we don’t take action now, do we have to wait until Qingming Festival?

Prince An smiled and said, "Thank you, my brother. You have been troubled by the border issues recently, so you need to take a good rest."

Emperor Jingning smiled softly, then picked up the teacup again: "How else can I rest? The most I can do is go back and rest early."

Prince An: "Isn't the food court going to launch special spring snacks? My brother can take this opportunity to go out for a walk, tasting delicious food while enjoying the spring scenery. How nice."

Emperor Jingning took a sip of tea and said, "Let's wait and see."

That's exactly what he thought.

They have even started planning to bring the Queen Mother, the Empress and the Crown Prince to the food street.

It's true that brothers are connected by heart, hahahaha.

Fortunately, all these troublesome things ended before Shen Huazheng's activities started, otherwise, Dongyi and Chen State would have paid more than just this small price.

This time when he goes to the food court, he must try all the spring snacks.

When leaving, you have to buy some gift boxes to take back to the palace.

Heard that Shen Huazheng put a lot of thought into this spring snack gift box, he wanted to see what other tricks Shen Huazheng could come up with.

Prince An also picked up the teacup and drank the tea slowly.

The emperor's brother looked serious at this time and said something like "let's wait and see".

He will definitely appear in the food court by then.

Just wait and see, you should be able to run into my brother and others in the food court by chance.

If Dongyi could hear the conversation between Emperor Jingning and Prince An, they would definitely say "Pah" and scold them for being shameless and going too far.

They are obviously the ones who suffer.

The Dongyi have already expressed their willingness to surrender and have submitted the letter of surrender, but the southwestern army of Daliang is still continuing to charge towards the Dongyi.

When this matter was mentioned, Dongyi was in great pain.

I thought General Yan's old illness had recurred, and the rest of the people would be easy to deal with.

Who knew that General Yan didn't come, but a killer god came instead.

He is a killer with no moral principles at all.

Even though they have clearly surrendered, they still have to be slapped on the head a few times, until they are dizzy with stars, before they can start talking about peace.

The key point is that there is no place to argue about this matter. Although General Yan has a bad reputation, he still has some reason.

But his granddaughter was not only cruel, but also unreasonable.

The explanation given was that he was too absorbed in the fighting and failed to stop for a moment.

Listen, is this what a person says?

That Yan Yan is not a noble lady from Daliang at all, she is simply a barbarian!!

Although the Dongyi people were dissatisfied, they dared not speak out.

Not only did he not dare to speak, he also knelt very quickly.

He was afraid that if he knelt too slowly or his posture was not correct enough, the God of Death would find an excuse to kill him.

This time the Dongyi were really scared and begged everyone for help, hoping that the Southwestern Army would leave as soon as possible.

Shen Huazheng sprinkled the fried glutinous rice flour on the chopping board, and asked someone to divide the proofed glutinous rice dough into small pieces of even size.

Then fold the small dough repeatedly, roll it into a ball and flatten it, just like making bun skins.

At this time, the chicken filling has cooled down.

Shen Huazheng picked up a dough and demonstrated to Zhou Ying and Princess Lejia: "Just like making dumplings, just wrap the chicken filling in it. The wrapper can't be too thin, otherwise the filling will leak out after wrapping it."

As she spoke, she kneaded the dough into a shape that was thick in the middle and thin on the four sides, then filled it with chicken filling and wrapped it tightly.

Since Shen Huazheng had sprinkled anti-stick glutinous rice flour on the chopping board in advance, the dough she kneaded was not sticky at all.

Zhou Ying and Princess Lejia stood aside and watched attentively. They saw Shen Huazheng pinch the edge of the dough tightly and press it firmly, then knead it into a round ball in her hands, and finally press it down gently.

A round chicken pancake suddenly appeared in front of me.

Everyone clearly saw the whole process of the chicken-shaped soft pancake being made by Shen Huazheng, and they all imitated her actions and started to get busy.

After a while, the exquisite and cute little round cakes were placed on the plate.

Everything is ready, only one step is left.

Shen Huazheng asked someone to light a pot. Instead of adding oil to the pot, she directly put the glutinous rice cakes into the pot and started to make the cakes over low heat.

She kept staring at the pan and turned the dough over as soon as it turned slightly yellow.

As the temperature in the pot gradually increased, the surface of the glutinous rice cake slowly swelled up.

The originally flat glutinous rice cakes became round and plump, as if someone was blowing air into them.

Very cute.

As Shen Huazheng moved, the fragrance of glutinous rice, along with a complex aroma, seeped out of the pot little by little, causing everyone in the kitchen to couldn't help but take a deep breath.

If you look carefully, you can smell not only the aroma of glutinous rice, but also the aroma of butter, egg and coconut.

Shen Huazheng baked both sides of the pancakes until they were slightly golden brown, and then put them both on a plate.

"It's probably fine to bake it to this degree. If you overcook it, the skin won't be soft and chewy, and it will become crispy and hard."

Zhou Ying nodded and took Shen Huazheng's words to heart.

Princess Lejia couldn't help but ask, "Zhengzheng, is this chicken pancake ready now?"

As she spoke, her eyes were almost fixed on the chicken pancakes, although she had already prepared herself mentally to cry from greed.

But she is still very greedy and hungry now.

Looking at the chicken pancakes made by Zheng Zheng, her appetite was immediately aroused.

I've already eaten so much for lunch, but now I feel hungry again.

Woohoo~~~

But my grandmother said that being able to eat is a blessing.

So it’s good for her to eat more, at least it will bring her more blessings.

I hope she is blessed with good fortune and doesn't gain weight.

Hehehehe~~~

Shen Huazheng and Zhou Ying were already used to Princess Lejia's greed, but they couldn't help laughing when they saw her like this.

"Okay, let's go have afternoon tea."

Shen Huazheng had afternoon tea set up in the bamboo garden of the Shen residence. When the weather was good, she liked to bask in the sun while drinking tea in the bamboo garden.

The sunlight fell softly, shining on the bamboo forest, on the stone table, and on the body.

It’s warm and comfortable.

The maids placed the freshly made chicken pancakes on the stone table, and brought freshly brewed tea and some other snacks.

And just like that, the spring afternoon tea for the three of them began again.

Princess Lejia picked up a piece of chicken pancake with chopsticks, brought it to her mouth impatiently and started eating.

The outside of the crust has a slightly frosted texture, and it is soft and chewy when you bite it, quite elastic, and can be drawn.

When I bit into it again, I tasted the sweet filling.

The chicken filling is delicate and dense, smooth as sand, accompanied by rich egg aroma, rich coconut aroma, mellow butter and fresh glutinous rice fragrance.

As you chew it, the tempting sweet aroma spreads between your lips and teeth, instantly filling your taste buds with a sense of happiness.

You can't help but take one mouthful after another, and you can't stop at all.

Zhou Ying also savored the chicken-shaped soft pancake in front of her. The crust was soft, chewy and elastic, and the filling was delicate and sweet.

Take a bite, and the sweet taste instantly fills your mouth, dense, soft and sticky...

It's so delicious!!

Princess Lejia couldn't help but praise: "Zhengzheng, this chicken pancake is delicious. It's not inferior to the snacks I tried before."

Zhou Ying swallowed the Ji Ying Soft Biscuit in her mouth and said, "Although Ji Ying Soft Biscuit, Cha Gao, Ai Ci, Ji Shi Teng and Qing Tuan are all made of glutinous rice wrappers with fillings inside, they taste completely different when eaten."

Princess Lejia: "Yes, yes, that's what I wanted to say. Although they are both made of glutinous rice, the skin of Aizi is more solid. It's a bit like Jishitengzi. Chaguo and Qingtuan taste soft and sticky, but the skin of Jiyingruanbing is more elastic. The fillings are also different, and the taste is really completely different."

She really likes the Jiying soft pancake. The crust is soft and chewy, and the filling tastes a bit like custard filling, but it is more fragrant.

As soon as she got home, she made some for her grandmother, parents and older brother to try. She had already memorized all the steps.

Just go back and follow Zheng Zheng's steps and do it again.

Zhou Ying suddenly asked, "By the way, Zheng'er, can this chicken pancake be made with other fillings?"

Shen Huazheng held up the teacup and said, "Sure. Jiying soft pancake is actually a kind of hiking pancake. In addition to Jiying filling, you can also make barbecued pork filling and red bean paste filling."

Princess Lejia widened her eyes. She originally thought that soft biscuits could only be made sweet.

Even if it can be made into other flavors, it should be sweet filling. I didn’t expect that it can also be made into barbecued pork filling.

Shen Huazheng took a sip of tea and said, "Not only can hiking cakes be made into other fillings, but chicken fillings can also be made into other foods."

"What other foods can chicken stuffing be made into?"

"What else can you eat with chicken filling?"

The voices of Princess Lejia and Zhou Ying sounded at the same time.

Shen Huazheng: "In addition to Jiying soft pancakes, Jiying stuffing can also be made into Jiying crispy corners and Jiying bread."
