Tools:

Four steps in the process

First, let's make batter first.

1, three big eggs at room temperature, although choose the biggest one, add 40 grams of fine sugar (I use soft candy), add 1 gram of salt (rarely lose one). Stir with a hand blender until the sugar melts.

2. Add 20g of melted butter and continue stirring.

3. Add 120g low-gluten flour, which can be sieved. Stir until there is no dry powder, as shown in the figure (in Xiao Ting's prescription, the flour is lowered in the last step).

4. "Add milk at room temperature, add whipped cream at room temperature" This is the original words of Xiao Ting's teacher Fang Zi. However, whipped cream is generally stored in cold storage, which needs to be taken out first and then heated to 20 grams. In fact, this is unnecessary. Open the package, pour 20 grams of whipped cream into a small bowl or cup, then add 280 grams of room temperature milk and stir with chopsticks. The temperature of the mixed liquid is not much different from normal temperature.

Add the mixed light cream milk into the batter several times and stir well. The stirred batter is like this. There are basically no pimples and it can't be broken.

5. Although the batter is already very delicate, it still needs to be sieved ~

Looking at the results of the first screening, there are still some insoluble substances left on the screen, a little pimple, and what looks a little transparent is undissolved egg white.

After the second screening, there are basically no insoluble impurities, and the batter is very delicate.

Special instructions for batter:

1, all materials for making batter are at room temperature, which was emphasized by Xiao Ting from the beginning. What if it's not room temperature? We can try ~

2. Add a material order

In Xiao Ting's practice, the order of adding materials is: eggs → sugar and salt → milk and light cream at room temperature → low-gluten flour → melted butter;

And I changed the order to: eggs → sugar and salt → melted butter → low-gluten flour → mixture of milk and whipped cream at room temperature (added in stages).

In this way, the batter can be made with few bumps, and it is enough to filter it twice.

3. Filtering is to filter out impurities and bubbles in the batter, so that the batter is more delicate.

4. About 1 g salt, be sure to put it ~

Second, start baking pancakes ~

How to make pancakes more efficiently? Look at the preparation work first, as shown below, taking my kitchen as an example.

Put the batter basin on the left stove, the frying pan on the right stove, and put a rag soaked in cold water on the right side of the frying pan. On the right side of the rag is the chopping board, which has been covered with a piece of baking paper.

Get ready, let's start baking pancakes ~

1, first fire, small fire, let's look at small fire.

2. When the pot is a little hot, fill half a spoonful of batter with a large spoon, pour it into the pot, pick up the handle, turn the pot quickly, let the batter cover the bottom of the pot, and then put it back on the stove.

When the crust of the cake begins to bulge, it means that the cake is almost cooked and can be made.

4. Pick the edge of the cake with chopsticks at this time. The edge of the cake can be picked up. Then put the pot on a wet rag, take the cake out of the pot with both hands and put it on the prepared baking paper.

Wow, that's great! The first cake is baked ~ however, the first cake is often the ugliest. It doesn't matter. Bake some cakes first and adjust the temperature of the pot. The cake in the back will get better and better.

5. Take the pan to the edge of the batter basin, fill the pan with half a spoonful of batter, turn the pan to make the batter flat at the bottom of the pan, and then put it back on the stove. At this time, I quickly tore off a piece of baking paper and covered it on the first cake. Okay, repeat, repeat, repeat.

6. When all the cakes are baked, put them in the refrigerator and let the lovely cakes cool down.

Special instructions for pancakes:

1, wet rag is an artifact to solve the overheating problem in pancake making. You don't need to turn off the fire and cool the pan to make pancakes. Remember to wash the rag with cold water several times in the middle.

2. The temperature of the pot should be just enough for the batter to solidify, but it also gives you enough time to turn over the pot and let the batter spread all over the bottom of the pot. If the pan has not been turned over, the batter has solidified, indicating that the temperature of the pan is too high. Put a wet rag on it to cool down.

3, the batter will precipitate, stir it before each time.

4, pancakes don't have to be turned over, just turn over one side.

The frying pan I used this time is 22cm in size, but the bottom of the pan is not that big. The diameter of the baked cake is about 17 cm, which is 6.7 inches.

6. I always bake 15 cakes this time. Teacher Xiao Ting baked 14 cakes in a 24cm frying pan, and the size of the cakes was 8 inches. You see, the cake I baked is still a little thick. In the past, 9-inch cakes were baked in a 26cm frying pan, which could bake 9 or 10.

7. The function of baking paper is to isolate each cake and prevent them from overlapping and sticking together.

8. When you take the cake out of the pot, it will be a little hot, but it is really hot. Just get used to it ~

Third, send whipped cream, which is my favorite step ~

1. First of all, clean the two egg-beating basins filled with batter just now. Add a little water to a pot and put three or four frozen ice packs in it. Dry the other basin with a dry dish cloth and put it on the one filled with ice packs.

2. Add 500 grams of whipped cream and 50 grams of sugar to the basin, start the electric egg beater, and start to send whipped cream. Pay attention to the state of whipped cream when you send it, and just hit eight points.

Special instructions for sending cream:

1. Choose light cream with a cream content of over 35%. I sent it with 30% whipped cream, but it didn't work well. At that time, I was young and ignorant, and later learned to choose whipped cream with a cream content of more than 35%. This light cream is used for hair. The box will say "whipped cream" and indicate the cream content. Anjia used it this time, and the fat content of milk was 35. 1%.

2. The whipped cream must be refrigerated for more than 24 hours, and the basin filled with whipped cream is best without water and oil. It is best to sit in the ice water at the bottom of the basin. In such hot weather, it's best to take it to the air-conditioned living room, not to put it in the stuffy kitchen ~

3. The amount of sugar added is 10%- 15% of the amount of fresh cream. This is the quantity given by Xiao Ting. Like to add 10%, sweet but not greasy. Please add sugar instead, fitness guys (in fact, fitness guys may not even eat cream, that's what I mean).

4. The whipped cream for making a thousand-layer cake can be sent to 8 points, which is too hard to wipe off. In addition, it is very hard to fight, and novices are easy to overdo it, resulting in the separation of water and oil, like tofu residue.

It's the first time to deliver whipped cream. It's overdone. I was afraid it was not hard enough, but it was overdone, especially Anjia's whipped cream. It only takes a few seconds to send it away, so please pay attention to the state of the whipped cream.

Haha, I'm so scared. Let's calm down first. In fact, there is no need to be nervous about delivering whipped cream. It is recommended that novices deliver whipped cream for the first time. You can try to hit it to the end and over-hit it, so that you can know the state of whipped cream at all stages ~

5. I dare to write it because I have this, telling you how to keep the whipped cream, that is, add some whipped cream and type it again (yes, it's that simple! )

6. What should I do if the cream I bought is not easy to send, or it is still soft after sending, not 8 points hard? Yes, it's Nestle. To solve this problem, we need to add gelatin powder. The specific method is to link the strengthening methods of animal fresh cream.

7. If you use 1 liter big package like me, what about the remaining whipped cream? Generally speaking, as long as there is no pollution at the seal, it can be sealed again and refrigerated, but it must be used up within one week. Unopened whipped cream is too easy to go bad (yes, it is our unopened whipped cream). Actually, it's good to make an ice cream with the remaining whipped cream ~

8. The last one, a novice who has no experience in whipping cream, suggests going online to search for a video before starting.

Fourth, assemble the cake.

I really can't think of a more appropriate word than "assembly". What do you think is better? )

Let's get ready for work. Take the cookies out of the refrigerator. They're cool enough. Put them on the left.

Put a decorative turntable in the middle and an 8-inch cake cardboard cushion on it (I have 6-inch and 8-inch cardboard cushions, and it is better to use 8-inch cushions for this 6.7-inch cake).

Put whipped cream on the right (remember to put the whipped cream basin in ice water).

Grab a cream shovel and get to work!

1. First, put a cake on the cardboard cushion and spread a thin layer of cream;

2. Spread another cake, spread a thin layer of cream, put the freshly cut fruit, and so on. Something seems to be wrong. I didn't say anything about cutting fruit just now ~

Ah, I forgot to say this, now insert a "cut fruit";

A red pitaya, peeled, cut in half, sliced and cut into small pieces. (End of break)

Ok, let's go on, put the fruit away, put a big piece of cream on it, and then smooth it with a spatula;

3, repeat the following until you feel that the height is ok, or the fruit is used up, or the cream is used up, or the cake is used up. This cake is because the cream is used up.

4. Cut out a circle larger than the cake with baking paper, fold it in half for 3 times, cut out half a heart shape, and it will be 8 hearts after unfolding. Put it in the middle of the cake, take a sieve, add a spoonful of cocoa powder and start sieving. Sifted cocoa powder fell on the cake, and finally carefully took away the baking paper, leaving eight hearts ~

5. put the cake in the freezer for 3-4 hours, then take it out and cut it, and then ... o (▽) o of course eat it ~

Precautions for assembling cakes:

1. Cream, you must promise me, ok? If you stack cakes together, they will be high in the middle and low around. Gently press the middle part to make it flat, and then stack the cakes layer by layer ~

2, the fruit is as flat as possible;

3. My assembly sequence is: base cake (just a name) → cream → cake → fruit cream → cake → cream → cake → fruit cream → cake → fruit cream → cake → cake → fruit cream → cake → cake → cake → fruit cream → cake. You can also put fruit or cream on each floor.

4. As to which side of the cake is facing up, when I make it, it's smooth, and when a chef bakes it, it's facing up. This is Lady M's, it seems that the brand is facing up, or did you do something else on the cake? Seek expert appraisal.

5. Did you succeed? Finally, the heart shape sprinkled on it can give you a reference and cut it into eight parts more evenly ~

It shouldn't be a problem to make a thousand layers of cake here. Let's try it boldly ~
