Exclusive Cornmeal and Red Date Steamed Cake

Prepare the ingredients: 1 cup of cornmeal (using the measuring cup that comes with the rice cooker), 2 cups of flour, 80 grams of red dates, 30 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of yeast powder.

Place the cornmeal in a bowl, add about 150 grams of boiling water, and stir into a dough. Set it aside to cool.

When airing the corn dumplings, wash the red dates, dry them, remove the pits, and cut them into small pieces.

When the corn mixture has cooled to a slightly warm temperature, add the flour and yeast powder.

Add an appropriate amount of warm water to disperse, then add the chopped red date pieces.

Knead into a relatively smooth dough (because of the cornmeal, it won’t be too smooth)

Place the steaming rack liner in the steamer, put the kneaded dough directly on the liner, press it flat with your hands, and let it ferment in a warm place.

Ferment for about 1 hour, until the surface of the dough is obviously fluffy, then place it in a steamer and steam on high heat for 25 minutes.

After steaming, take it out and let it cool slightly before unmolding.

After cooling, cut into pieces; they are soft, warm, and sweet.
