Let's take a closer look!

Purple potato cake with flour or glutinous rice flour

You can use flour or glutinous rice flour, depending on your personal method and taste preference.

After steaming, the purple sweet potato can be pressed into a purple sweet potato puree with a spatula. After the purple sweet potato puree is made, it can be mixed with flour. So there are many flours that can be added to the purple sweet potato. For example, we can add flour, that is, the wheat flour we usually use to make buns or steamed buns. In this way, the two together can make delicious pasta. Another kind of purple sweet potato cakes that we want to make are softer and more fragrant. We can add glutinous rice flour to it. The taste of adding glutinous rice flour will be sweeter than adding flour, but it is not as plastic as flour. These two types of flours are often added when we make purple sweet potato cakes. The taste of these two ingredients is very delicious. These two types of flours are the basic ingredients for making flour, but in order to make it more delicious, we also need to add some auxiliary materials when making purple sweet potato cakes to make the purple sweet potato cakes more delicious. For example, we can add milk to it, which can make the purple sweet potato cakes sweeter, and it can also make the purple sweet potato drier after steaming, and make the purple sweet potato more delicious after making purple sweet potato puree. You can also add honey, sugar and other ingredients, which are good ingredients to play an auxiliary role.

Tips for making purple potato cakes

1. Cut the purple sweet potato and steam it so that it can be cooked quickly and is also easier to crush.

2. Adding glutinous rice flour to the purple potato puree can increase the viscosity, making the taste more delicate and soft. It can also be replaced with flour.

3. The purpose of brushing a thin layer of cooking oil on the baking tray is to make it easier to remove after baking and prevent it from sticking to the tray.
