Homemade Egg Youtiao

Add youtiao leavening agent to the flour, and mix double-acting baking powder and salt evenly.

Crack 2 eggs.

Add water and cooking oil, then use a folding method to fold from the edges toward the center, let it rest for 15 minutes, and then continue folding the dough toward the center three more times.

Divide into 2 portions and knead until evenly mixed.

Wrap in plastic wrap and let sit for 3 hours (hot summer weather).

No need to knead the dough again, stretch it lengthwise and roll it out.

Cut into a width of two fingers, brush water on one strip lengthwise, overlap with another piece, and press along the middle.

Pour an appropriate amount of cooking oil into the pot and heat it until it reaches 50% hot, then add the dough sticks and fry until golden yellow.

Continue frying the youtiao (this is my own custom recipe youtiao).

The fried youtiao is fluffy without dense dough lumps, with evenly distributed pores, a fragrant and soft texture, and pairs best with soy milk.
