Pumpkin is rich in vitamins, so eating more pumpkin is very good for the body, especially when children are growing taller. Today, I will introduce a favorite pumpkin cake for babies!
Ingredients:
One pumpkin, about one and a half kilograms; one kilogram of glutinous rice flour; sugar to taste.
Directions:
1. Peel and remove the seeds from the pumpkin.
2. Cut the pumpkin into small pieces and steam or microwave until cooked.
3. Mash the cooked pumpkin with a fork and let it cool.
4. Mix the glutinous rice flour and sugar into the pumpkin puree until the mixture is firm.
5. Take a portion of the pumpkin dough and press it into a cake shape with the palm of your hand.
6. Heat the electric griddle and add oil. Place the pumpkin cake on the griddle and fry slowly. Flip the cake when one side turns golden brown and fry for another three to four minutes with the lid closed.
The benefits of eating pumpkin are as follows:
1. It can provide the body with abundant carotenoids, which can prevent excessive keratinization of the skin and make the skin smoother and more delicate.
2. It can help control blood sugar levels. Pumpkin contains substances similar to insulin, which can effectively prevent and control blood sugar spikes.
3. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it can detoxify and reduce swelling. Eating pumpkin appropriately can be beneficial for people with lung abscess, redness, and burns. The disadvantage of eating pumpkin is that it may cause stagnation of qi and dampness. Excessive consumption of pumpkin, due to its sweet taste, can lead to discomfort in the body.
