Egg Iron Cake

Egg Iron Cake

　　Egg Iron Cake is a rice-based dish characterized by its soft, flaky exterior and tender interior, offering a sweet and fragrant taste. It is cooked by pan-frying. The name comes from the fact that the cooking utensil resembles an old-fashioned iron. The cake comes in both sweet and savory varieties.

　　The rice is soaked, washed, ground into a paste, then mixed with aged cellar water and stirred to ferment. Once the rice paste starts to bubble, fresh rice paste, eggs, sugar, osmanthus honey, and a suitable amount of baking soda are added to make the cake batter. Cxc

　　Twenty grilling bowls are placed over “second charcoal” fire. A layer of water-oil is brushed inside each bowl, and the cake batter is ladled in along with a suitable amount of jam. A long skewer is used to flip the cake, which is then grilled until the surface turns golden brown. Cxc

　　Key points: Pay attention to controlling the fermentation time of the rice paste to avoid over-fermentation. Cxc
