Homemade wife cake, with a golden, enticing crust and a flaky interior, every bite lets you taste its sweet and fragrant flavor!

Let's make the oil dough first. Mix 120 grams of all-purpose flour, 15 grams of white sugar, 50 grams of water, and 40 grams of melted unsalted butter together first.

Knead it into a ball with your hands again, knead for a little while until the surface of the dough is smooth.

Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate to relax for 30 minutes.

Next, we make the shortcrust pastry by putting 90g of all-purpose flour and 45g of unsalted butter together.

Mix evenly and knead into a ball.

Wrap with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Next, we make the filling: 100 grams of glutinous rice flour, first stir-fry over low heat until slightly yellow to make cooked flour, and set it aside.

Put 15 grams of white sesame seeds and 15 grams of desiccated coconut together, toast them over low heat until fragrant, and set aside.

Let the glutinous rice flour, white sesame, and coconut shreds cool, then put them together.

Then add 60 grams of white sugar, 50 grams of water, and 30 grams of unsalted melted butter, and put them together as well.

Mix until there is no dry powder.

Wrap the filling with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.

Take out the oily dough and roll it into a uniform long strip.

Divide evenly into 12 parts.

After rolling it into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and set it aside.

Take out the pastry, evenly divide it into 12 portions, wrap them with plastic wrap, and set aside.

Take a dough for oily skin and roll it out evenly and thinly.

Wrap with shortcrust pastry, seal the edges, and roll into a ball.

Press with your palm.

Roll it into the shape of a ox tongue, then flip it over and roll it again.

Then roll it up, wrap it in cling film, and set it aside. Repeat this process for all 12 dough pieces.

Press in this way again, turn it sideways with the seam facing up, and roll the dough into an even thin sheet.

Continue rolling them up, and go through the process with all 12 dough pieces.

Take out the refrigerated, set filling and divide it evenly into 12 portions, then roll them into balls and set aside.

Take a piece of dough, fold it in half from the middle, and then flatten it.

Roll it into a thin sheet with a rolling pin, paying attention to using a light touch to prevent the pastry from breaking.

Place the smooth side down, enclose a filling, and then pinch the edges to seal.

Place it on the baking tray and press it flat.

Make three cuts to prevent it from bulging while baking.

Brush a layer of egg yolk on the surface.

Sprinkle a layer of white sesame seeds for garnish.

Preheat the oven to 180℃ in advance, and bake for 30-35 minutes.
