In Chenzhou, my favorite food is sugar and oil Baba. This is a traditional Hunan snack, made of glutinous rice flour, sugar and oil. The taste of sugar and oil Baba is very unique, the outer layer is crisp, and the inner layer is soft and waxy, sweet but not greasy, which makes people eat one after another.

The materials needed to make sugar and oil Baba are glutinous rice flour, sugar, oil and water. Glutinous rice flour should be of good quality, the amount of sugar can be determined according to personal taste, the oil should be peanut oil or soybean oil, and the temperature of water should be well controlled, neither too hot nor too cold.

Step 2: Make dough.

Mix glutinous rice flour and sugar evenly, add appropriate amount of water, and stir into dough. Pay attention to the moderate temperature of water, neither too hot nor too cold. When mixing the dough, stir vigorously until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 3: Make sugar and oil sauce.

Put sugar and oil into a pot and cook slowly on low heat until the sugar is completely melted and the color turns brown. Pay attention to the sugar and oil sauce must be cooked until the color turns brown, so as to ensure the color and taste of sugar and oil Baba.

Step 4: Make sugar and oil Baba.

Knead the dough into small balls, put them in a baking tray and flatten them by hand. Steam the baking tray in a steamer for about 10 minutes. After steaming, pour the sugar and oil sauce on the sugar and oil Baba and spread it evenly with a brush. Sugar and oil Baba is ready
