Cake flour 600g
Butter 200g
5. Prepare the oil dough and set aside. 6. Melt the remaining 50g of butter over hot water and set aside. Mix 320g of flour with baking powder and a pinch of salt. 7. After mixing the flour evenly, pour it into the melted butter bowl and mix by hand until the butter forms tiny granules within the flour. 8. Finally, knead the dough with warm water, ensuring the dough consistency matches the softness of the oil dough. 9. Cover both doughs with a damp towel and let them rest for about 10 minutes. 10. Then, roll out the water dough into a 1cm-thick sheet using a rolling pin, and place the oil dough on top. 11. Evenly fold the water dough over the oil dough and seal it. 12. After folding, pinch the edges tightly to close. 13. Gently flatten the wrapped oil dough, then press it crosswise with a rolling pin, flipping it twice during the process.
14. Press the dough to a thickness of 1 cm, then use a rolling pin to roll it into a 0.5 cm thick sheet. During rolling, use a plastic scraper to push and shape the edges of the dough sheet, aiming to form a slightly elongated rectangle shape. 15. Brush off excess dry flour from the dough sheet using a pastry brush, then fold it from left to right. 16. After folding, press and roll out the dough again with the rolling pin. Repeat this process three times, which is also known as the triple-folding method. 17. For the final pass, roll the dough sheet to a thickness of 0.3 cm. 18. Once the dough sheet is rolled out, use a sharp knife to cut it into strips approximately 9 cm wide. 19. Then cut the hawthorn cake into slices 3 cm wide and 0.8 cm thick, and arrange them neatly in the middle of the dough sheet. 20. Fold the dough sheet from top to bottom to wrap the hawthorn cake. Brush the seam with water using a pastry brush to ensure it sticks firmly and does not come apart. 21. After wrapping the hawthorn cake, cut the wrapped dough into triangular pieces using a knife.
22. Then neatly arrange them in the baking tray with the opening facing downward, and brush the surface with egg wash. 23. Finally, place them on the middle rack of a preheated oven, set the upper and lower heating temperatures to 170°C, and bake for 18-20 minutes. 24. Once baked, remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve.
