Hello, thank you for watching, let's make you beautiful! Youtiao, one of our traditional Chinese breakfast, is renowned for its fluffy and crispy texture, and is always loved by everyone. It's commonly found in early morning markets, selling for prices ranging from 1 yuan, 1.5 yuan, to 2 yuan. Good breakfast shops' youtiao are freshly fried and sold, and to ensure customer peace of mind, they often place bucket-filled oil nearby for customers to see, letting them know their youtiao are made with reliable oil. While some vendors repeatedly use the same oil and their pots and pans are deeply blackened, it's recommended to avoid buying youtiao where the oil appears dark and burnt.
The traditional method of making youtiao is to use ordinary flour plus high-gluten flour, plus baking powder, baking soda, yeast powder, salt, sugar, use warm water to make dough after it's well-mixed, then brush oil on it, let it ferment for 2 times its size, then flatten it, cut it into small pieces, let it ferment a little bit more, and then stack it in two layers, using chopsticks to stick water and press, and then put it into the pot to fry. This process is complicated and time-consuming, and if any step is not carefully executed, the resulting youtiao will not be delicious! This is why many friends often bake breakfast pancakes at home instead of making youtiao!
Do you really need baking powder or soda to make youtiao? In fact, you don't. To make the family loves to eat healthy youtiao, there are secrets! Today, I will share a unique method using 3 bowls of flour and 2 eggs, which can make (peace of mind youtiao) without added ingredients and without rising dough. The youtiao made in this way are fragrant and delicious, especially good!
Materials preparation: 300g flour, 30g sugar, 2 eggs
Detailed steps: (During the production process, all the key details need to be noted, please don't miss it!)
First step: First, we prepare 300g of ordinary flour, add 30g of sugar, then pour in 15ml of edible oil, mix with 250ml of boiling water while mixing, first melt the sugar, stir until it becomes a cottony state
Add 2 eggs, because eggs can make the dough fluffy, using eggs instead of additives, the resulting youtiao will be healthier and more nutritious, stir into a delicate batter, and then stir in one direction to make the batter rise,
Second step: Then choose your favorite piping bag, if you don't have a piping bag, a slightly thicker pastry bag is also okay. First, put the bag into a cup, then pour all the batter into it, and then squeeze out all the air with your hand, and tighten the edge with your fingers.
Third step: In a wok, add a lot of edible oil, when the oil temperature is about 40% hot, immediately press a small amount of hot oil with a chopstick to pull out the batter, and youtiao will form. Repeat this action continuously until all the batter is squeezed into the pot. This way, the youtiao are small, of the same length,
After squeezing the batter out, turn the heat to medium and keep stirring, so that the youtiao are evenly heated. If you like a softer texture, you can fry until the surface is slightly yellow and then take it out. If you like a more crispy texture, fry until it is golden and then take it out to drain the oil,
This type of youtiao has a crispy exterior and a soft interior, and it won't harden even after it's been sitting around. It can be used as a snack or as a breakfast. Because it doesn't contain any additives, it's healthy and delicious. When you break it open, you can see that it's particularly fluffy. We use eggs instead of additives, so this youtiao is more nutritious. The whole process doesn't stick to your hands, and the method is simple and fast.

My creation's note: (Precautions)
1. Sugar is mainly to help with fermentation and also to make the youtiao golden yellow. If the sugar is too little, the youtiao won't be golden yellow.
2. When frying youtiao, the oil temperature needs to be a little higher, about 180 degrees. When the raw dough is put into the pot, it will immediately float. If the oil temperature is low, the raw dough will absorb a lot of oil and affect its rising and expansion.
