Ingredients Needed

Eggs: Provide abundant protein for the batter, helping to increase the viscosity and stability of the batter and making the egg roll more resilient in texture.

Pure milk: Increase the humidity and milky fragrance of the batter, making the egg roll texture more delicate.

Sugar: Add according to personal taste to bring sweetness to the egg roll.

Butter: Add after melting into the batter to give the egg roll a rich milky fragrance and better texture and increase the crispiness.

Plain flour: The main raw material for making the batter and forms the main structure of the egg roll.

Black sesame: Add fragrance and visual effect to the egg roll.

Alternative Pan Frying Method

There is no need to worry if there is no air fryer. After all, egg rolls have already existed in people's recipes before the air fryer came out.

For me, if an air fryer is not used, frying egg rolls in a pan is a better choice. First, pour about half an inch of oil into the frying pan. Then heat the pan to 175 degrees Celsius (350°F) and put in the egg rolls. Fry each side for about four minutes. At this time, you will see that the egg rolls gradually turn into an attractive golden color. The aroma emitted is mouthwatering, and the taste is wonderful. Come and try it! This method is worth your reference.

Essential Tools

Frying pan: Used to spread the batter into a thin pancake shape for initial frying. It needs to heat evenly to ensure that the bottom of the egg roll is formed and cooked through.

Oil paper: Laid on the batter during frying to facilitate subsequent pressing and flattening with a flat container and also prevent the batter from sticking.

Flat container: Used to press on the batter covered with oil paper to press and flatten the batter so that the egg roll can reach an appropriate thickness and uniformity.

Chopsticks: Used to roll up the fried egg pancake to shape the egg roll.

Air fryer: Put the initially fried but not crispy enough egg roll into it for baking to make it more crispy.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Uneven mixing: If materials such as eggs and milk are not fully mixed and the sugar does not dissolve, the sweetness of the egg roll will be uneven, and if there are lumps of flour, there will be hard lumps.

Wrong order: Improper addition order of materials, such as adding flour first and then liquid, is easy to form lumps and difficult to mix evenly.

Heat control problem: High heat can easily cause the bottom of the batter to be burnt and the inside not cooked; low heat takes a long time and is not crispy. Use low heat and pay attention.

Flattening mistake: Uneven force will make the thickness of the egg roll inconsistent, affecting the texture and crispiness, and may also cause problems in subsequent operations.

Improper flipping: Careless flipping can easily cause the egg roll to break. Wait until the bottom is solidified and the edges are raised before carefully operating.

Temperature and time: Unreasonable settings can cause the egg roll to be burnt or not crispy. Adjust according to the power of the fryer and the number of egg rolls.

Not preheating: If preheating is required but not done, it will affect the baking effect.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Storage

After the egg roll cools down, wrap it with plastic wrap or a sealed bag, try to expel air as much as possible, and put it in the refrigerator's refrigeration compartment. It can be stored for 3-5 days. If you are worried about odors, you can put a small piece of kitchen paper in the bag. When refrigerated, the egg roll may become soft.

Heating

Preheat the oven to 160°C. Put a metal rack on the baking tray and place the egg roll on the metal rack to heat for 5-8 minutes; or set the air fryer to 150°C and put the egg roll in to heat for 3-5 minutes. Do not heat with a microwave oven, as it will make the egg roll hard, dry and lose its crispy texture and original shape.

Recipe Variations

Nutty flavor: Add 30 - 50 grams of chopped nuts (such as almonds, cashews, walnuts) to the batter, which can make the egg roll full of rich nutty aroma and at the same time increase the texture layers of the egg roll. The oil in nuts will also make the egg roll more crispy.

Cheesy savory egg roll: Add 30 - 40 grams of chopped cheese (such as cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese) to the batter. After heating in the air fryer, the cheese melts in the egg roll, bringing a rich and savory taste. You can also sprinkle some cheese powder on the surface to further enhance the cheese flavor.

Rum raisin egg roll: Soak 20 - 30 grams of raisins in rum for a period of time and then add them to the batter. The aroma of rum and the sweetness of raisins will make the egg roll full of flavor and give people a unique taste enjoyment.

Multi-layer filled egg roll: Make thinner egg rolls. When rolling, add fillings such as cream, chocolate sauce, peanut butter, etc. You can stack multiple layers to create an effect similar to mille-feuille and enrich the texture and content of the egg roll.
