Peach-shaped Pastry

Peach-shaped Pastry

　　Ingredients: 500g wheat starch, 100g cornstarch, 50g lard, a small amount of spinach juice, a small amount of red amaranth juice.

　　Seasoning: 200g lotus seed paste.

　　Method: Steam. Place the wheat starch, cornstarch, and lard in a bowl, pour boiling water over to scald, knead until smooth, divide into 10 small portions and 1 large portion. Wrap the lotus seed paste and shape into peach dough; then use the teeth of a comb to press a shallow groove to form the shape of a peach. Mix a small amount of scalded wheat starch dough with spinach juice to make green dough, shape into leaves, and attach them to the peaches. Spray a little red amaranth juice on the tip of the peach, and steam for about 15 minutes.

　　Flavor characteristics: Resembles a fresh peach, sweet and delicious.

　　Technical tips: Press the groove deeper with the comb, otherwise the lines won’t be clear after steaming; when placing the peach leaves, dip them slightly in water or egg white so they stick firmly.
