If you want to extract butter from fresh milk, you need to take out the not-so-thick layer of milk skin that Xiao Nianzhi took out and beat it continuously to separate the fat and water.
The fat part is butter.
If you have an electric egg beater, then this process is barely simple.
After all, beating eggs is a laborious job, and it also requires speed.
But now they don't...
However, what surprised Xiao Nianzhi was that Guanshi Qiu and the others were worthy of being from the military camp. Not only did they have extremely fast hands, but their endurance was also amazing.
Several of them took turns beating, and the speed was almost faster than an electric egg beater!
They had reached their limit, and the rest was Xiao Nianzhi's job.
She cleaned her hands and soaked them in the fresh well water.
When the grease began to separate, Xiao Nianzhi took out the granular grease that floated up, put it on gauze, and filtered it.
The moisture needs to be filtered out to ensure the purity of the oil.
This process needs to be fast, because the melting point of butter is too low, and the temperature in the palm of your hand can easily melt it and then combine with water for a second time.
If that were the case, then a few hand-beaters would be working for nothing.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi's hands not only need to be cool, but also fast!
At the same time, the temperature generated by beating eggs and the temperature in the air are also increasing, so it is necessary to add previously chilled milk. This can ensure as much as possible that the temperature of the whipped milk is maintained at a level that will not Let the butter melt within the lines.
The people who beat eggs by hand did so well, and Xiao Nianzhi did it neatly.
Yan Changxia also knows that this step is probably very critical, after all, it is quite time-consuming.
Therefore, she watched obediently throughout the whole process and did not ask questions out of curiosity for fear of disturbing everyone.
Butter is refined bit by bit. In order to maintain the temperature, Xiao Nianzhi filled the bowl with butter with well water to prevent the butter from melting as much as possible.
Until no matter how much it is whipped, no fat can be separated from the milk, and the step of refining the butter is completed.
Xiao Nianzhi put the bowl of butter into the bucket again, and then went down into the well.
The temperature outside is still too high, and it may melt at any time, so it's better to put it in the well for peace of mind.
Xiao Nianzhi and Guanshi Qiu were busy all the time, which dazzled Yan Changxia and others.
They didn't go to the front, just in the small kitchen in the dormitory area.
But with King Wei here, he is not afraid of running out of tools or ingredients.
Now that you have the butter, there’s so much more you can do next!
Xiao Nianzhi had a lot of things in her mind that she wanted to make, but seeing that the Tianshou employee eggbeater was still there, her mind couldn't help but wander a bit.
In such a hot weather, a refreshing and refreshing dessert is enough.
Snow Meiniang is a good choice among them.
Fortunately, Manager Qiu and the others are still here and can help whip the cream.
If Xuemei Niang wants to make it delicious, the ratio and choice of glutinous rice flour and starch are more important!
Regarding this, Xiao Nianzhi had given King Wei a list yesterday, and the other party was also prepared.
The milk that Xiao Nianzhi boiled first was delivered early this morning. It needs to be sterilized at high temperature before it can be safely consumed.
Glutinous rice flour requires water-milled glutinous rice flour. Because there are many processes involved in making it, the final product is more delicate.
This is all thanks to King Wei and Yan Changxia. After all, the powerful masters are so particular about their daily food. Ordinary people are not willing to wash and sift rice.
I don’t know how much will be wasted in the process!
As for starch, you need to choose corn starch. The taste and texture will be more suitable for glutinous rice flour.
The ratio between these two ingredients is about 3.5:1.
If there is a little difference between the top and bottom, it won't be a big problem.
In fact, you can make Snow Meiniang without butter.
But if you add butter, it will increase the milky aroma and make the taste more mellow.
Yan Changxia couldn't help but become curious again when she saw Xiao Nianzhi pouring all kinds of ingredients into the basin quickly like a magic trick, and steaming them in the pot after a while.
When Xue Mei Niang's skin was put into the pot to be steamed, Xiao Nianzhi was not idle either.
As I said yesterday, if she wanted to make panna cotta for Yan Changxia, she would definitely need to do it.
Milk jelly is easy to make, but in order to increase the smooth texture, Xiao Nianzhi needs to add an extra food glue.
The main ingredient of this food glue is fish fat, and as an auxiliary ingredient, collagen from animals can be used.
To put it bluntly, both pork skin and chicken feet are acceptable.
However, pig skin is easier to handle, so Xiao Nianzhi chose this one.
The amount of pig skin does not need to be large, the main purpose is to rely on the colloid viscosity of the fish fat itself, and the pig skin is just to assist in improving the flavor.
When processing these two ingredients, they need to be blanched to remove the fishy smell, grease, and impurities.
If you want the final food gelatin to be cleaner and more translucent, you need to be very careful during the processing.
After this cooking is successful, you can go down into the well and wait for it to take shape.
After that, cut it into thin slices and dry it out, and you will get an elegant name.
Gelatin tablets.
Common name: gelatin.
However, Xiao Nianzhi makes a home version, adding a small amount to improve the taste, so you can eat it with confidence.
Throughout the morning, Xiao Nianzhi was like a spinning top, so busy that his feet never touched the ground.
Aunt Yu concentrated on watching the excitement and picked a basket of cucumbers in the morning. She was originally here to provide for her retirement, and no one would say anything.
As for Xiao Nianzhi?
The masters picking vegetables said that if they share a bite, they can help them work for three days!
Because the custard had to wait, Xiao Nianzhi made the Snow Meiniang first.
After the skin was steamed, Manager Qiu and others started their long journey of part-time jobs.
Whip the cream!
With the previous experience in killing, and now getting started again, they said that they are already skilled at the job!
While they were whipping cream, Xiao Nianzhi cut the fruit into dices.
It was a bit strange to put watermelon in. Xiao Nianzhi cut the melons, peaches and apricots sent by his aunt Zhuangzi from the field.
When the round dumplings, as white as snow, were placed on the plate, Yan Changxia's language system went out of control again: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, roar!"
King Wei watched the birth of Xuemei Niang with his own eyes and found the process very interesting and the result very gratifying.
Those little white fat guys look delicious.
Especially the cream that Guan Qiu whipped up after them just now was as pure white as snow, as soft as clouds, and had a faint milky fragrance...
He had never seen it before, and his heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat.
King Wei was not a person who could exercise restraint when it came to food.
So, watching Xiao Nianzhi put the plates aside neatly, he couldn't help but ask: "Can you eat it?"
When asking questions, his eyes seemed to be enchanted, and they were tightly glued to the plump and plump Xuemei Niang.
The first update is at 9 o'clock, the second update is at 15 o'clock, and the third update is at 19 o'clock.
