Ingredients

9 edible dried roses to make rose water
50 g fresh edible rose petals
35 g sugar
30g g glutinous rice flour cooked
180g g all purpose flour
60 g lard

Instructions

Make rose water. This water is used to mix the dough so that the skin you eat will give off a faint rose fragrance (this step can also be done directly with water). Soak a few dried roses in a cup of boiling water, then mash up the right amount of fresh rose petals to squeeze out the juice, then mix with the rose water to filter out the rose fragrance and set aside.
Add some white granulated sugar to the rose and rub them well with your hands until it becomes juicy.
Rub it into this state as below, this is the rose sugar.
Add the appropriate amount of cooked glutinous rice flour to the rose sugar, and mix them to make them into a dough (cooked glutinous rice flour can be steamed directly into a steamer or fried until cooked).
In this step, it takes about 30 minutes to finish the process. The pastry consists of 100 grams of all purpose flour mixed with 10 grams of lard, but also 45 grams of rose water, and 15 grams of sugar, mix them well, and kneaded for 30 minutes. The other pastry is made from 80 grams of all purpose flour and 50 grams of lard. Knead them into balls and long strips as shown in the picture, the balls are for the filling and the long strips are for the crust. Divide it into 16 parts.
Wrap the pastry in dough, as you can see here.
Then roll it into an oval shape. Roll it like this. Then roll out the long strip and roll it up again. Set aside and wait for 10 minutes.
Knead the dough into a circle and roll out the dough into a thin, thick-edged dough. Then wrap in 17 grams of rose to fill in the dough.
Place the dough on a baking sheet, flatten it slightly, and brush it with the egg mixture.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and bake for 10 minutes. Lower the heat according to the actual temperature. Let the temperature in the oven be about 160 minutes and bake for another 20 minutes until the skin is golden brown.
