Hot Batter


 
It is a batter to make your buns and breads softer without adding any emulsifiers. It is a very popular baking method in Asia. Some people say that it originated from ancient China, while some people say it is created by Japanese. No matter what the truth is. It is a natural way for bakers.

Flour will be gelatinized after heating up for a while. So, adding “Hot batter” into the dough can make the dough absorb more liquid. Then, it is highly elastic and allows it to stretch. But, this kind of dough will be sticky. It will be a little difficult to knead at the first few times. Practice it more times, then you will get used to it.

Steps

(1) Weight all ingredients
(2) Pour flour into a fired pan. And then, pour milk and water into the fired pan. Well-mixed firstly.

(3) Switch the ring on. Simmer with the medium heat. Stir it all the time.
(4) When it starts to gelatinize, switch the ring off immediately. BUT, keep stirring for another 1~2 minutes. 

Selena’s Kitchen Talk: I always prepare 2~3 portions and save them into freezer. Just move it to fridge a day before cooking. Leave it at the room temperature 30 minutes before mixing into dough.
