Why don't fried hemp leaves and sesame seeds fall off?

①Wash and remove impurities from sesame seeds.

② When making this snack, most people overlook one step for the sake of convenience, which is to add sesame seeds directly to flour. Then in the subsequent frying process, the sesame seeds are not embedded deeply and are easy to fall off, affecting the taste and appearance. In addition, the oil is not easy to handle, and the sesame seeds must be fished out, so the sesame seeds are first soaked in hot water, then fished out and put into flour, which greatly improves the adsorption and has a better effect.

Fried hemp leaves

1 pound of ordinary flour, 2 eggs, about 80g of white sugar, and 1 ounce of peanut oil.

practice:

1. Beat the eggs, add sugar and stir until the sugar melts, then add peanut oil and stir until the egg liquid and oil are evenly mixed.

2. Slowly add the liquid mixed in step 1 to the flour, knead the dry flour into dough while adding the liquid, and finally knead the dough into a smooth dough. The dough for fried sesame leaves should be a little harder to shape, and if you feel that there is not enough liquid when kneading, you can add a little cold boiled water as appropriate. Cover the kneaded dough with a wet towel and let it rest for half an hour.

3. Knead the dough and roll it into a wonton wrapper (it was my first time to fry sesame leaves, so the wrapper was a bit too thick). Cut the rolled wrapper in half, cut off the irregular edges, and fold them into two rectangular pieces. Cut the folded wrapper every half a centimeter or so. Do not cut through the first three cuts, but cut through the fourth, and so on.

4. Unfold the cut dough, grab one end and flip it over in the middle. If the folded dough is longer, you can flip it twice.

5. Put enough peanut oil in the soup pot, and when the oil temperature reaches 60-70% hot, add the hemp leaves, fry over medium-low heat until the hemp leaves are golden brown and crispy, then remove and drain the oil. When the hemp leaves cool to room temperature, they will become crispy and sweeter, and they are best eaten at this time.
