留学英国，做饭似乎成了一个必备的生存技能。每逢周末或者过节，我们都习惯了邀三五个好友来寝室做客吃饭，这时厨房就变成了大厨们的秀场。那不太会做饭的筒子们，难道只能一直甘当切菜工和洗碗工？No！ 试试这道手打糯米桂花糕吧！不仅简单，而且分分钟亮瞎食客们的双眼，实在是吃饭装逼的必备高大上甜品呀！糯米的软糯，桂花的清新，让饱餐一顿的饭后变得香甜，想想都觉得是极好的呢~ “你好”杂志请来了英国营养学硕士伊妹子, 她将手把手教大家制作既简单又高雅的手打糯米桂花糕. 步骤一：材料准备 1.糯米 2. 糖渍桂花 糯米和糖渍桂花在中超市都能买到.如果买不到糖渍桂花可以用桂花干或者枸杞蜂蜜替代. 步骤二：制作桂花糕 像煮饭一样，用电饭锅糯米煮熟。然后趁热，用擀面杖的一头将锅里的糯米打成糕状，像捣蒜一样，大概5分钟的样子，然后加入适量的糖渍桂花继续捣(若没有桂花，就加入适量蜂蜜和枸杞)，捣至无米粒状即可。 将锅中的糯米取出，放入保鲜袋中，压扁成长方体，放入冰箱冷藏1-2小时。 待米团放凉后，从冰箱里取出，切去四边的脚料，将米团切成大的方块状，装盘，再在糕上淋上少许桂花即可。一盘高大上的手打桂花糕就完成啦，快去拍照传朋友圈吧！ 温馨贴士: 1.糯米要趁热打成糕状，这时的黏性最佳，也易打至成型 2.可以在擀面杖的一头涂上少许油，可以防止打糯米时粘黏 3.糯米放凉后再切，会比较好切，易成型 4.切糯米时，将刀的两面沾点凉水，糯米会更加好切，不易散或粘在刀上。 5. 切的糯米糕，最好切块状，因为糯米太软，切片不易成型。
