Method

1. 1 Cook the sugar syrup with lemon juice for 12 minutes, then let it cool completely; the hot syrup will make the cake soggy when it comes into contact with the hot cake.
2. 2 Heat 120 ml of water with butter and salt, then pour in the flour and cornstarch mixture all at once and stir for 3 minutes.
3. 3 Let the batter cool down to 60 degrees, then add the eggs one by one and beat until the batter is smooth and elastic.
4. 4 Pipe the batter through the notched nozzle in 4 cm sections, then cut with a wet knife for a clean cut.
5. 5 Fry in cold oil at 150 degrees, gradually increasing to 180 degrees over 12 minutes, starting with freshly cooled oil, then immediately dip the empty casing into cold syrup.

• Air fryer 45 min

  Replace step 5: spray oil evenly, then cook at 170 degrees for 12 minutes, and increase to 200 degrees for another 4 minutes. Since the intestines are denser than those fried in oil, reduce the syrup soaking time by 10 seconds.
