Guozijian little cook

Chapter 74

If one wants to extract butter from fresh milk, one needs to whip the not-so-thick milk skin that Xiao Nianzhi took out to separate the fat and water.

The fat part is butter.

If there is an electric egg beater, then this process is barely simple.

After all, beating eggs is a laborious job, and it also requires speed.

But, now they don't...

However, to Xiao Nianzhi's surprise, Guanshi Qiu and the others are worthy of being from the military camp. Not to mention their hand speed, their endurance is also amazing.

Several of them took turns beating, and the speed was almost faster than that of an electric egg beater!
They have reached their limit, the rest is Xiao Nianzhi's work.

After cleaning her hands, she soaked her hands in the newly brought well water to cool them down.

When the oil started to separate over there, Xiao Nianzhi took out the granular oil that floated up, put it on gauze, and filtered it.

The water in it needs to be filtered out to ensure the purity of the oil.

This process must be fast, because the melting point of butter is too low, the temperature of the palm, it is easy to let it melt, and then combine with water for the second time.

If this is the case, then a few manual egg beaters are doing white work.

Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi's hands should not only be cold, but also fast!
At the same time, due to the temperature generated by beating eggs and the temperature in the air is also increasing, it is necessary to add milk that has been chilled before, so as to ensure that the temperature in the milk that has been sent is maintained at a constant temperature. Let the butter melt within bounds.

The hand-beaters did it well, and Xiao Nianzhi did it neatly.

Yan Changxia also knows that this step is probably very critical, after all, it is quite labor-intensive.

So, she watched obediently the whole time, and didn't ask out of curiosity, for fear of disturbing everyone.

Butter is extracted bit by bit. In order to maintain the temperature, Xiao Nianzhi put the bowl where the butter was placed, and also used well water to keep the butter from melting as much as possible.

Until no matter how much it is sent, the milk can no longer separate the fat, and the step of refining butter is considered complete.

Xiao Nianzhi put the butter bowl into the bucket again, and then went down into the well.

The temperature outside is still too high, and it may melt at any time, so it's better to put it in the well for peace of mind.

Xiao Nianzhi and Qiu Guanshi have been busy, Yan Changxia and the others are dazzled.

They didn't go to the front to make a fuss, they were in the small kitchen in the dormitory area.

But with King Wei around, I am not afraid of not having enough tools or ingredients.

The butter is already there, so there are many things to do next!

Xiao Nianzhi wanted to make a lot of things in her heart, but seeing that the handmade egg beater was still there, her mind inevitably fluttered.

In such a hot weather, a cool and refreshing dessert is enough to taste.

Xue Mei Niang is one of the good choices.

It just so happened that Guanshi Qiu and the others were still there, so they could help pass the butter.

Xue Mei Niang wants to cook delicious food, the ratio of glutinous rice flour and starch and the choice are more important!

For this point, Xiao Nianzhi had already given the list to King Wei yesterday, and the other party was also ready.

Xiao Nianzhi went to boil the milk first, it was delivered early this morning, it needs to be sterilized at high temperature before it can be eaten with confidence.

Glutinous rice flour needs water to grind glutinous rice flour, because the production process is more, so the final product is more delicate.

This is all thanks to King Wei and Yan Changxia. After all, the rich and powerful masters are so particular about their daily food. Ordinary people, how can they be willing to wash and sift the rice.

I don't know how much I will waste in the process!
For starch, you need to choose corn starch. The taste and texture will be more compatible with glutinous rice flour.

The ratio between these two ingredients is about [-] to [-].

If there is a little difference between the top and bottom, it is not a big problem.

In fact, you can make Xuemei Niang without butter.

But if you add butter, it will increase the milk flavor and make the taste more mellow.

Seeing Xiao Nianzhi deftly pouring all kinds of ingredients into the basin as if he was juggling, and steaming it again in a short while, Yan Changxia couldn't help being curious again.

When Xue Mei Niang's skin was being steamed, Xiao Nianzhi was not idle either.

As I said yesterday, to make panna cotta for Yan Changxia, she definitely needs to do it.

Panna cotta is easy to make, but Xiao Nianzhi needs to add a kind of food glue in order to increase the smooth texture.

The main ingredient of this food glue is fish fat, and as an auxiliary ingredient, collagen from animals can be used.

To put it bluntly, both pigskin and chicken feet are acceptable.

It's just that pigskin is easier to handle, so Xiao Nianzhi chose this.

The amount of pigskin does not need to be large, mainly relying on the gelatinous viscosity of the fish fat itself, and the pigskin is just to assist in enhancing the fragrance.

When processing these two ingredients, they need to be blanched to remove fishy smell, grease and impurities.

If you want the final food gelatin to be more clean and clear, you need to be very careful in the processing process.

After the cooking is successful, you can go down into the well and wait for it to take shape.

Afterwards, it is sliced ​​and dried to give it an elegant name.

Gelatin sheets.

Common name: gelatin.

However, Xiao Nianzhi made the home version, adding a small amount to enhance the taste, so you can eat it with confidence.

The whole morning, Xiao Nianzhi was like a spinning top, so busy that his feet never touched the ground.

Aunt Yu concentrated on watching the fun, and picked a basket of cucumbers in the morning. She was originally here to provide for the elderly, so no one would say anything.

As for Xiao Nianzhi?
The masters who picked vegetables said: If they share a bite, they can help them for three days!
Because panna cotta had to wait, Xiao Nianzhi made Xue Mei Niang first.

After the skin was steamed, Guan Shi and the others started their long journey of part-time jobs.

whipped cream!
With the previous experience of dismissing, and now they get started, they said that they are already skilled workers!

When they were whipping the cream, Xiao Nianzhi cut the fruit into cubes.

Putting the watermelon was a bit strange, Xiao Nianzhi cut the melons in the field, peaches, and apricots sent over by Aunt Zhuangzi.

When the chubby, tender and snowy dumplings were placed on the plate, Yan Changxia's language system lost control again: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh!"

Wei Wang watched the birth of Xue Mei Niang with his own eyes, and found the process very interesting and the result very gratifying.

Those little white fat guys look delicious.

Especially the cream that Qiu Guanshi and the others beat just now, it was as pure white as snow, and as soft as clouds, with a faint milky fragrance...

He had never seen it before, and his heart seemed to itch like being scratched by a cat.

Wei Wang is not a person who can restrain himself when it comes to food.

So, watching Xiao Nianzhi put the plates aside neatly, he couldn't help asking: "Can I eat it?"

When asking questions, his eyes seemed to be enchanted, tightly glued to the plump, plump Xue Mei Niang.

　The first watch is at 9:15, the second watch is at 19:[-], and the third watch is at [-]:[-]
