When making cakes, the dough is placed on a sheet with a pre-laid metal stencil frame, which is removed before baking.
To obtain cakes in the form of tubes, the dough is deposited from a pastry bag with a round tube with a diameter of 18 mm, for small cakes 5–6 mm. The dough is deposited in the form of sticks 5 to 12 cm long, depending on the weight of the cake, 15 mm wide at intervals of 3-4 cm. The length of sticks for small cakes is 3.5–4.0 cm.
For cakes in the form of "Shu" buns, the dough is deposited in the form of round cakes through a round tube 10 mm in diameter.
For the custard "grid" the dough is deposited in the form of one row of flagella, on top of which the second row is deposited. Flagella are placed parallel to the edges of the sheet for a straight "grid" and diagonally for an oblique one.
** Baking. ** Baking duration 35-40 minutes at 180-200 ℃.
