Colorful gyro cake with kidney bean filling

Overview

Seeing many friends making pastries, I was tempted to join in the fun. I made kidney bean stuffing yesterday, and I still haven’t used the lard I cooked earlier. Today I made this colorful gyro cake. When it comes to lard, many friends are daunted. In fact, the unsaturated fatty acids contained in lard are very beneficial to the human body. We don't reject butter, but we reject lard. As everyone knows, the fat ratio of lard is smaller than that of butter. It is recommended to eat some in moderation, there will be no problem. When winter comes, lard will provide us with extremely high calories. To make Chinese pastries, lard is the best choice. The texture and taste made with vegetable oil are not as crispy and fragrant as those made with lard.
