Bab 103: 103 What is the Princess Doing? (Second Update)

Li Xianyun led the kitchen maids in starting to prepare the ingredients.

She first washed a large wooden basin of mung beans and soaked them in clear water, then prepared ingredients such as sugar, mint powder, glutinous rice flour, and wheat flour.

The mung beans needed to soak for a whole morning to become soft enough to be crushed into a paste, so the mung bean cakes could only be made in the afternoon.

The date cakes could be made a bit faster.

After soaking and cleaning the red dates, Li Xianyun removed their pits, took out the date flesh, placed it into a small basin, and steamed it over high heat in a pot.

After about the time it takes an incense stick to burn, she took them out and instructed the kitchen maids to pound them into a paste, beat in eggs, add brown sugar, and mix evenly.

Next, Li Xianyun mixed a small amount of wheat flour with a large amount of glutinous rice flour, then added the crushed date paste into the mix, and kneaded it into dough.
