Niu Niu is one of the unique desserts in Taiwan. Because the dessert looks like a French Macaron, it is also called "Taiwan Macaron". This dessert has a history of more than 60 years. Compared with French Macaron, beef The taste of macarons is softer and the sweetness is much lower, but the production method is completely different from that of macarons! This is an easy-to-follow recipe that requires only six ingredients that are readily available at home .

In this article, I will share an easy-to-follow recipe, and introduce how to use QRcode to easily obtain more recipe information, so that you can easily experience the process of making beef nuggets and taste homemade classic Taiwanese desserts. Then follow me and let the home be filled with the aroma of sweet beef grains😁

Explore a new world of recipes: the perfect combination of books and QR codes

For homemade desktop macarons, I refer to the book "Qiao Mommy Jesmi's Playful Baking" and select 50 dreamy desserts. Each dessert is paired with a QRcode, and you can get a complete recipe teaching in an instant just by scanning it . Compared with traditional paper recipes, this new method not only allows you to see the text description, but also watch video demonstrations, making learning easier.

In the past, to learn cooking, you had to buy a recipe book before you could start practicing, but it is inconvenient to carry a recipe book, especially when you are shopping in the supermarket, you still need to look through the books to find the ingredients you need. Such a traditional method is not only inconvenient, but also a waste of time.

The QR code APP I use can perfectly solve these problems. I think the APP's "scan picture QRcode function" is very useful, because it can easily decode the pictures with QR code in the phone album.

Even if a picture has more than 2 QR codes, users can easily select the QR code to decode , which is really convenient.

▲I scanned with this APP

If you are an IOS user, you can open the camera to scan!

I usually take photos of the cooking pages I am interested in first, and organize them in the folder of the mobile photo album. This way allows me to easily buy the ingredients I need when I go to the bakery ingredients store or the fresh food supermarket, without having to carry a recipe book out, which is very convenient.

1. Open the APP: scan the mobile phone picture QRcode function

Select an image with a QR code in the album

2. Decode the QRcode of the picture

Even if a picture has more than 2 QR codes, users can easily select the QR code to be decoded, without worrying about the app misunderstanding the QR code they need.

3. Watch teaching videos online

After the decoding is complete, I can watch the recipe teaching video online, so that I can stop and watch it at any time during the production process, so as to better understand the steps and operation methods .

Homemade Tabletop Macarons

The serving size of this recipe can make about 12~15 beef nuggets, and the serving size can be increased or decreased by yourself.

food preparation

• 1 whole egg
• 1 egg yolk
• Sugar 40g
• Low gluten flour 70g
• 70g unsalted butter softened at room temperature
• 20g powdered sugar

【Production steps】

1. Prepare a pot of warm water, the temperature is about 38-40 degrees.

2. Put the whole egg, egg yolk, and sugar into a bowl, and beat the egg yolk with warm water to ensure that the egg yolk can be smoothly beaten into a soft and fluffy state.

At this time, you can preheat the oven first, set the fire to 200/lower to 180  ℃

The purpose of water heating?

• Uniform heating: Basin heating can evenly heat the egg yolk mixture, avoid local overheating or condensation, and ensure that the egg yolk can be evenly beaten.
  
  
• Control the temperature: Water-proof heating can help control the heating temperature of the egg yolk, so as to prevent the egg yolk from overheating and congealing into egg flowers, or insufficient heating so that it cannot be fully whipped.
  
  
• Avoid scalds: Basin heating can avoid direct contact with high temperature, reducing the risk of scalding, especially when the egg yolk mixture needs to be stirred for a long time.

Beat the egg liquid until it can be written and will not fuse immediately.

3. Sift the low-gluten flour into the egg batter, cut and mix gently with a spatula.

Reasons why the mixing process is prone to failure:

• Excessive stirring: low-gluten flour has a high protein content. Excessive stirring will stimulate the gluten strength formed by the protein, causing the air bubbles to shrink excessively, resulting in the failure of defoaming.
  
  
• Uneven mixing: When mixing low-gluten flour, unevenly mixing the flour with other ingredients can cause localized gluten formation, which can burst air bubbles.

4. Put the batter into a piping bag, because I don't have a piping bag, so I use a plastic bag instead, it is recommended to use a piping bag to squeeze it into a shape of the same size.

5. Use a sieve to put an appropriate amount of powdered sugar on the surface, which will make the surface of the batter stand up more beautifully when it is baked.

6. Put it into the preheated oven, bake in the middle layer for about 6-8 minutes, the surface will change color slightly, then take it out and let it cool.

🕐Oven temperature setting:

Heat 200/lower 180, bake for about 6~8 minutes (take out when the surface is colored and no longer expands)

7. To make the cream, put the cream at room temperature to soften, add powdered sugar, and stir well.

8. Take out two similar small cakes, spread cream in the middle and sandwich them.

Taste and experience

The texture of the diced beef is soft, similar to a sponge cake, and the filling is creamy, which makes people unable to stop mouthful after mouthful. It is very suitable for afternoon tea!

This classic dessert can be easily made at home, and the ingredients are readily available, as long as there are eggs, powdered sugar, low-gluten flour, and cream. In addition, the recipe can also be adjusted according to personal preferences, such as peanuts, chocolate , Strawberry, etc., each has its own unique charm.
