配方中的所謂人造豬油tenderflake lard，也有説法稱是純豬油：Canadians know Tenderflake lard in an instant: It’s a square pound of snow-white lard in a bright yellow box in the local grocery store’s baking aisle. Moms and grandmas have been stockpiling this lard-rendered pig fat, the highest grade from near the loin and kidneys-in pantries for generations.

[@reneelim8458]

I love watching and learning the traditional Chinese food that you make. I have noticed that you have "rice flour" instead of "glutinous rice flour" in the description on the screen. But you had said "law mai fun"; when you were speaking. So which flour should it be? Please clarify. Thank you.

[@PapaFungsKitchen]

It’s glutinous rice flour. It’s labeled in the ingredient section in the pop up. The speech bubbles don’t have enough room to accommodate for the word “glutinous” every time it’s used, so I shortened it

[@reneelim8458]

炒過嘅糯米粉會香啲，去粉味。 吸水交效果更好。

Hi papa fung, I want to make this for my parents. Can I use a stand mixer to make the oil dough and water dough or do I need to knead it by hand?

[@PapaFungsKitchen]

You can use a stand mixer, it makes life a lot easier for sure

Thank you for your fast reply!

[@alzar3612]

Hi Papa Fung, what would be the instructions if I used a stand mixer for making the dough?

[@PapaFungsKitchen]

Hello, the instructions are the same. But it is easier to over mix when using a stand mixer. When you use your hand, you can tell the dough’s density and stop when the dough is just right.

[@alzar3612]

The filling I made is a different consistency to yours. It’s like a sticky porridge consistency that can’t be wrapped in a ball. I did add fresh shredded coconut to the mixture . Is that what I did wrong?

[@chenmichael8245]

谢谢fung师傅上传分享❤️❤️❤️！ 但请问师傅，您做的饼成品后表皮平滑光亮不脱落。而我做的饼按照您的配方，成品后表皮裂开脱落，是什么原因？谢谢！

酥皮是比較容易脫落的。突別是熱的時候食

[@PapaFungsKitchen]

沒有糖冬瓜可以用冬瓜。做法一樣。但糖要加多一點。

[@Anonymous-bs8it]

Papa Fung, did you change how you rolled out the dough? Is that why it's flakier?

[@PapaFungsKitchen]

Hello, this time I slammed the dough. Most importantly I have a mix of pastry flour and all purpose flour instead of one type of four. For the oil dough, I used lard instead of oil. Overall, there were tweaks to the ingredients and proportions/ratios of ingredients. The rolling is not too different other than the addition of spamming the dough. Hope that helps ☺️

[@Anonymous-bs8it]

[@chowkaisan47]

簡單覆習化，全行用糖冬瓜做餡，全世界也有？

[@gy5938]

Can the lard for the oil dough be substituted with butter partially?

[@PapaFungsKitchen]

Yup, but the texture will be slightly different and it’ll taste more buttery instead of the traditional flavour

[@meiyingshek3468]

請問師父我焗的個皮漲得高是什麼原因？我有在面用刀界兩刀的

[@PapaFungsKitchen]

焗爐火太大、饀料水份太多、水油皮比例有問題。大多數都是這問題。

[@ridhahamidah5568]

I miss this snack mr.but i cant get the winter melon candy what to replace pls

[@PapaFungsKitchen]

You can make it without the candied winter melon. It’ll be more traditional without it, but you will need to add more rock sugar instead, since the candied winter melon is not added. You can adjust the sugar to your liking

師傅，想請教下點解我包完水皮油皮之後，就開始好似甩皮咁嘅？我已經有用保鮮紙封面，應該唔會乾晒😢

[@PapaFungsKitchen]

可能你包水皮和油皮的時候，水皮收口不太實。

[@pingloria]

@@PapaFungsKitchen 唔該晒，我下次再留意下！

[@yaplily358]

我试做了。 外皮真的很松化，一出炉就吃了两个。 我做到的馅料有点湿，可能炒到不够干，饼烤好了內馅还是有点湿，糯糯的口感。

請問油皮是200g低筋麵粉，200g人造豬油，混合埋成不到團

份量是對的。不成團，沒問題。只要放入雪櫃半小時，便容易運作。

是黏手的。因為是糯米粉的原故。可以用乾糯米粉做手粉會比較容易運作

想問一下，用冬瓜做的餡和沒有用冬瓜的餡料，有什麼分別呢？如果冬瓜是季節性材料，不是常常見到。 如果不加冬瓜可以嗎？
