What kind of cakes should we eat on Double Ninth Festival?
Introduction: The Double Ninth Festival is coming soon. I believe everyone is full of curiosity about this festival. There are also some rules on what kind of pastries to eat on the Double Ninth Festival. The Fortune Teller website has compiled a special article about the Double Ninth Festival for everyone, let’s take a look together! Eating chrysanthemum cake is one of the customs of the Double Ninth Festival. "Cake" and "high" have the same pronunciation, and originally people used eating chrysanthemum cake to compensate for not being able to climb high. However, because this cake has the cool fragrance and calmness of chrysanthemums more than ordinary cakes, and its appearance is beautiful, it is especially popular, so it has been passed down and has many cooking methods. Here we introduce the simplest one.
Ingredients: 20-30 chrysanthemums, 200 grams of water chestnut powder, 1 fresh chrysanthemum (chopped), appropriate amount of rock sugar (the sweetness can be adjusted according to personal taste)
Method: Boil the chrysanthemum in clean water for about 10 minutes (wrap the chrysanthemum with gauze to avoid the trouble of separating the residue). When the color turns light yellow, it is ready. Do not boil it for too long, otherwise it will taste slightly bitter. Take out the chrysanthemum and add rock sugar for seasoning. The sweetness should be slightly sweeter than normal because the addition of water chestnut powder solution will have a diluting effect. Add chopped fresh chrysanthemum. Dissolve water chestnut powder in appropriate amount of clean water, pour in chrysanthemum water and steam over high heat for about 15 to 20 minutes. It is cooked when it becomes completely transparent. It can be served hot or cold. You can also add raisins, red and green silk, apricot meat and other small pieces of preserved fruits or spread lemon slices into the paste to enhance the flavor. This cake is sweet, soft and crispy, melts in your mouth and leaves a delicious taste. It has the function of cooling and removing heat.
Osmanthus Chestnut Cake Osmanthus basically blooms between September and October, and the flowering period varies depending on the climate in different places. Chestnuts are basically ripe during this period, so they are also eaten as pastries.

1. Take an appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour.
2. Prepare sugared osmanthus.
