What kind of pan is suitable for making hawthorn cake? Can a non-stick pan be used to make hawthorn cake?

We all know that hawthorn cake is a popular pastry. It tastes sweet and sour and is appetizing. It is loved by people, especially children and the elderly. There are certain skills in making hawthorn cake, especially the choice of pots. So what kind of pot is better for making hawthorn cake? Let's take a closer look!

Is it necessary to use a non-stick pan to make hawthorn cake?

It is recommended to use a non-stick pan, and be careful when using it so as not to burn the pan. When some of the water in the hawthorn paste is boiled dry, turn the heat to the minimum. Do not use a non-stick pan of very poor quality, and do not use an iron pan. If you use an iron pan, the acidic substances in the hawthorn will react with the iron in the pan, turning the hawthorn cake black.

Therefore, it is important to remind you: do not use an iron pan to boil hawthorn, as it will affect the final color of the hawthorn cake. It is best to choose a non-stick pan.

How to make hawthorn cake

Ingredients: hawthorn, sugar, water

1. Wash the hawthorn, soak it in light salt water for a while and then rinse off the salt.

2. Remove the stalk of the hawthorn, cut it in the middle, remove the core, clean it and put it in water to prevent the hawthorn from changing color.

3. Add the processed hawthorns into the pot, add water to cover the hawthorns, bring to a boil over high heat, and simmer over medium heat until the hawthorns become soft.

4. Let the softened hawthorns cool down, pour them into a food processor along with the water in the pot, and blend them into hawthorn paste. (If the amount is large, you can blend it in batches)

5. Pour the hawthorn paste into the pot, add appropriate amount of sugar according to personal taste, simmer over low heat and stir constantly until the hawthorn paste does not drip easily on the spatula.

6. Take a heat-resistant glass container, apply a thin layer of olive oil in the container, and put the prepared hawthorn paste into the container.

7. Pour out after cooling, cut into slices or cubes and serve.

Precautions for making hawthorn cake

(1) The seeds of hawthorn cake must be cleaned

After the hawthorn is boiled soft, be sure to clean the stems and seeds. The seeds must be cleaned thoroughly. If you put them into a soy milk maker and blend them together, they will not be completely broken up and will burn your teeth when you eat them. Especially if there are children and elderly people at home who need to eat the hawthorn, the seeds must be cleaned thoroughly.

(2) Stir throughout the process to prevent sticking and scalding

When the hawthorn puree is heated, bubbles will swell up due to the heat. In order to prevent burns caused by splashing of the hawthorn puree, you must keep stirring the hawthorn puree with a spatula.
