Method
- 1 Mix the acorn flour with cold water in a ratio of one part flour to six parts water, stir until dissolved, then strain through a sieve.
- 2 Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously in one direction without stopping.
- 3 The mixture will gradually thicken and change from cloudy to translucent brown; when you feel resistance when pulling the spoon, lower the heat.
- 4 Stir for another 5 minutes to ensure the powder is fully cooked; if not, the jelly will be bitter and won't set.
- 5 Pour the mixture into the oil-greased mold, let it cool, then refrigerate for 2 hours until the jelly sets firmly.
