## Ingredients

- 2 pieces Eggs (鸡蛋) — per serving
  - Tip: Fresh, room-temperature Eggs are easier to beat and mix.
- 20 g Pink pomelo pulp (红柚果肉) — per serving
  - Tip: Choose red grapefruit with plump pulp and remove all the white pith.
- 80 g Flour (面粉) — per serving
  - Tip: Use low-gluten Flour for a softer, fluffier texture.
- 15 ml Cooking oil (油) — per serving
  - Tip: Use a neutral-flavored vegetable oil such as corn oil.
- 15 g Sugar (糖) — per serving
  - Tip: Fine granulated Sugar dissolves more easily.
- 80 ml Water (水) — per serving
  - Tip: Regular drinking Water is fine.

## Tools

Air fryer, Foil tray (18 cm), Chopsticks, Spoon, Oven mitts or tongs

2. **Grease the Tray** — Pour 15ml Cooking oil into the Foil tray (18 cm) and shake the tray to evenly coat the bottom.
   - Duration: 30 sec
   - Tip: Make sure the bottom and edges are coated with oil to prevent sticking.

## Tips

- If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add an extra 10g Sugar.
- You can adjust the amount of red grapefruit pulp, but it is best not to exceed 40g per serving to avoid affecting the appearance of the finished product.
- Paste means no lumps of Flour remain and the color is uniform throughout.
- The Foil tray (18 cm) is hot right out of the oven; use Oven mitts or tongs, or a damp cloth, to handle it.
