With the power out, they could only work by hand. Lin Yuezhen led the other two in preparing the ingredients for sachima.
After seeing a group of customers out of the shop, Lin Lan took out her small notebook to write down the recipe for honey buns, planning to bake some to sell.
Salt, honey, flour, butter… Lin Lan jotted down the ingredients, then asked Qiaohui to come out and watch the shop while she returned to the back kitchen to start mixing.
She mixed the prepared ingredients, slowly adding warm water and kneading the mixture into a smooth ball. She then flattened the dough and divided it into equal portions. Taking one portion, she used a rolling pin to shape it into an oval.
She rolled it up from top to bottom into a long roll, cut the roll in half, dipped the bottom of each piece in white sesame seeds, and placed them on a baking sheet that had been thickly greased with butter. Then, she set them aside to rise a second time.
