Peanut cake

Peanut cake

Golden fried peanut fritters with a thin, crisp shell and a nutty, chewy center, made from a rice-flour batter dotted with whole peanuts.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step image

    Soak the peanuts for 10 minutes in advance.

  2. 2
    Step image

    Prepare glutinous rice flour (you can also soak rice overnight and grind it into rice milk as a substitute) and wheat flour (the ratio of glutinous rice flour to wheat flour is 2:8).

  3. 3
    Step image

    Add cold water.

  4. 4
    Step image

    Stir evenly to form a relatively thin batter (it must not be too thick; if it is too thick, the finished product will turn out hard).

  5. 5
    Step image

    Add salt, white sesame, and five-spice powder, and stir evenly.

  6. 6
    Step image

    Add soybean powder and stir evenly (adding a little soybean powder makes the fried product crispier, but it can be omitted if not available).

  7. 7
    Step image

    Add chopped green onions and mix evenly.

  8. 8
    Step image

    Drain the water from the peanuts (soak for only 10 minutes, do not soak for too long).

  9. 9
    Step image

    Pour the peanuts into the rice slurry, stir evenly, and the batter water is ready.

  10. 10
    Step image

    Heat the oil in the pan, and put the mold into the oil together to heat, making it easier to demold.

  11. 11
    Step image

    When the oil is 50% hot, take out the mold and spoon in half a spoon of peanut batter water (using a little less batter water will make the fried cakes thinner).

  12. 12
    Step image

    Put it into the oil pan and fry for two minutes, then it will float up on its own and come out of the mold (use medium-low heat throughout).

  13. 13
    Step image

    Keep flipping it over, and fry until both sides are golden, then remove it.

  14. 14
    Step image

    Alright, drain the oil and fry them all one by one.
