Hello everyone! Amanda here!
Recently, I really wanted to have my childhood snack Cat's Ear
The World Cup is near
I think it will be a perfect snack while watching games
So I'm going to make my childhood snack today
I think probably a lot of people already tried this snack
이 간식을 만들려면 To make this snack
all you need is a cat (It's a joke)
Put some brown sugar on a bowl and pour some hot water
Stir it to melt the sugar
Put five spice powder, pepper, and some salt
Put a hundred grams of flour in the bowl
And baking soda
Mix them all together
The dough is kind of rough
but it's alright
Don't knead it too much
Pour some hot milk on white sugar
And stir them to melt
Put a hundred grams of weak flour
and some baking soda
Mix them to make a dough
Knead it roughly
Rest the doughs
for about 20 mins
After that, give shapes to the doughs
Make the white dough in a rectangular shape
with about 2mm of thickness
Thickness should be even
Do the same thing to the brown dough
Make it in the same size as the white dough
Apply some water on the surface
And place the brown dough on top of it
Push it thoroughly to stick them together
And then roll them together
You have to roll them tightly
And roll the entire thing
Roll it until it becomes even in thickness
And cover it with a plastic wrap
to freeze
Place it in the freezer for a couple of hours
It's going to be easy to cut the dough when it's hard
Before cutting the dough, prepare following things first to fry
I'm going to use a frying pot
There's a thermometer on top of it
Put the dough out
to slice it
Make them as thin as you can
You have to fry them right away
If they melt before frying, it'll be difficult to pick the slices up
Temperature will be alright between 140 and 160 degree celsius
They are getting puffy as soon as dunked in the pot
While they are fried, keep flip them
to make them heated evenly
a couple of minutes is enough
The dough slices will be hardened
When the white dough part starts to become golden
Pick them all up and drain all the oil
They are not crispy enough at this moment
But they will be when they are all cooled down
You can fry them all in a couple of times
When you are not using the dough anymore, you have to put it in the freezer again
It's not easy to slice when it's in room temperature
Some Chinese snacks like Cat's Ears are pretty hard
But they are very crispy and the the texture is pretty good
So when you are slicing a dough, you have to make them very thin
If they are too thick, it won't be that easy to chew
So we finished today's snack
Isn't it similar to your childhood snacks?
I put five spice powder and pepper so it will be pretty similar
You can feel a very unique flavor from them
It's really good
When you store snacks like this in air lock containers
you can keep the crispness for a long time
I hope you like today's snack!
