PFC Chapter 404 Maltose
Chapter 404 Maltose
Wrap the glutinous rice and malt with gauze and squeeze out all the juice vigorously.
It looks like a lot of malt in a big pot, but not much juice can be squeezed out.
This is not easy to make. You must use clean water to wash the residue after squeezing it once and squeeze out all the sugar inside.
Unexpectedly, all the juice filled two large pots. The next thing to do was to boil it over high heat to boil out the water in the sugar liquid.
“Can these things really be boiled into sugar?”
Hu Lili was very skeptical. Water of this color did not look like it was edible.
Could Xia Anan have done this on purpose? Can sugar really be made?
Or did she already know my purpose and deliberately bring this inedible food to annoy me?
But now that everyone is here, how can she be so bold as to do such a thing...
Hu Lili was already feeling a little timid at this moment. She couldn't eat it. She would die if she ate it...
Xia Anan didn't know what she was thinking at the moment. Boiling sugar is a laborious job, and there are two big pots of it, so it will take some time.
And to prevent the sugar at the bottom from sticking to the bottom, you need to stir it constantly.
The people here have never done this kind of thing before, so Xia Anan didn't dare let them do it.
The syrup splashing out is different from hot water splashing out. If you get hurt, it will be more trouble than gain.
At the beginning, Xia Anan could ask Fu Sijia to help stir the mixture. When the two pots of syrup gradually became thick and poured them together, she didn't dare to let anyone else do it.
After the first hour, dense small bubbles will appear in the syrup, but it is not enough. There is still water in the syrup and it needs to continue to be boiled.
When the small bubbles turn into dense large bubbles, it's almost done. Then use a spatula to scoop up a lump of syrup. As the syrup slides down, the falling syrup will form an inverted triangle shape, which means it's enough.
"OK OK."
Xia Anan didn't expect that she would be so successful in making malt sugar for the first time, so she scooped out some of the syrup first.
Pour the popcorn, cooked sesame seeds and cooked peanuts into the remaining syrup in the pot, and use a spatula to stir and knead them into a ball.
While the syrup is still hot, press the formed rice krispie candies into the mold.
This step must be compacted to facilitate the subsequent cutting.
I only saw Xia Anan using a knife to cut the large piece of sugar into small pieces, and when she took it out, she saw that it had turned into rice candy.
Xia Anan made some large popcorn and some small popcorn.
The taste of the two is different, but both are equally delicious.
"Is that all right?"
Hu Lili was a little surprised. It seemed to her that the syrup had no shape yet, but after kneading it twice and cutting it twice, the rice candy was ready?
It looks quite decent.
"Okay, it's not crispy if you eat it now. It will become crispy after it cools down. Wait a moment."
Xia Anan kneaded the remaining malt sugar together and started to make sugar.
"An An, can I do the rest?"
Fu Sijia had already put on her apron and looked ready.
Xia Anan nodded: "Put on gloves and be careful."
"understood."
Fu Sijia is already prepared to make a heart-shaped candy. Although it seems a little difficult now, this little difficulty is nothing.
Jiaojiao will definitely be surprised to see the malt sugar she made by herself!
Xia Anan handed the shaping of the remaining small piece of rice candy to Fu Sijia and concentrated on pulling the candy.
She had only seen this kind of operation on the Internet before, and this was the first time she had done it herself.
The sugar is still quite hot now. Xia Anan usually works, and her palms are still relatively rough. Otherwise, it would take several days for her to recover from the burn.
I have to say that this process is more difficult than Xia Anan imagined.
If the sugar is too hot, it won’t work, and if it’s too cold, it won’t work either.
Before she had even pulled twice, Xia Anan was already sweating and her arms were starting to ache.
But after she pulled it a few times, it did work.
During the process of pulling sugar, air continuously enters the sugar as it is pulled, and the sugar becomes white.
When you cut it again, you will find that there are dense pores on the cross section, which is also the key to the crispness of maltose.
After all, it was Xia Anan’s first time to make sugar, so the ones she bought in the market didn’t look as good as they did, and the pores inside were not very even.
But it was also a success.
Finally, coat the malt sugar with sesame seeds and it’s done.
"An An, look, I'm done too!"
Fu Sijia said loudly, showing Xia Anan the heart-shaped rice candy she had made.
Although the shape is not very regular, you can see that he tried hard.
Mother Fu's eyes were red. "Son, you are worthy of being my son. You have finally grown up and can make heart-shaped cookies for your mother..."
Although it is called rice krispie candy, there is not much sugar, but more rice krispie and other things.
Just when Mrs. Fu was about to touch the rice candy, Fu Sijia opened her hand.
"Mom! Don't touch this! This is for Jiaojiao, eat this!"
As he said this, he stuffed the scraps from both ends into her hands.
Mother Fu: “…”
What is this? He forgets his mother after getting a wife.
But seeing that he likes Jiaojiao so much, as his mother, I will naturally support him.
Just use the leftovers, the taste is the same anyway.
The rice candy has cooled down a little. When you break it apart, you can feel the splattered sugar residue and it is visibly crispy.
Xia Anan first gave a piece to Xia Baobao who couldn't wait, and then tried it herself.
You can taste peanuts and sesame seeds in every bite, and your mouth will be filled with fragrance when you chew.
"An An, you are so amazing. You can even do this!"
Jiang Xueyin ate two pieces in a row. They were not as sweet as the ones she had eaten before, and the taste was just right.
I have eaten this a lot before, but this is the first time I know it is cooked this way.
Several people worked together for a whole day, and every bite was a great sense of accomplishment.
Xia Anan was a little embarrassed to be praised, "It's my first time making it, so I didn't do it that well, please just make do with it."
"This is not good enough, how can we applaud it?" Fu's mother also followed suit and praised.
Seeing how highly people spoke of Xia Anan, Hu Lili was almost gritting her teeth.
She angrily picked up a piece and stuffed it into her mouth as if to vent her anger.
Crisp.
This is the first feeling at the entrance.
Is this really something you can make at home?
Hu Lili was stunned and forgot everything she had just thought about. This was too delicious...
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Anan quickly used a pancake maker to make a few small white flour pancakes, and wrapped them with some malt sugar covered with sesame seeds.
The outer layer is soft dough, and the inside of the cake is crispy sugar.
It's crispy and not greasy at all, not to mention how delicious it is.
"This is the first time I've seen this kind of eating method."
Jiang Xueyin was surprised and carefully took the cake that Xia Anan handed to her.
The taste is different from the rice candy just now. The wheat bread has a slightly sweet taste when chewing, and the maltose inside amplifies the sweetness.
But it has more of a sesame aroma and the sweetness is not too strong.
It's more like eating a snack made of sesame candy.
"It's delicious! Come and try it!"
"Try it for me too."
When a few people were sitting around the table tasting sesame candy, the door behind them opened.
Lu Qingyuan was stunned when he entered the room: "Why is it so lively today?"
