Shanxi shortbread

Overview

Shortbread cake was created in the Tang Dynasty and is known as the first specialty of the Western Qin Dynasty. For more than a thousand years, it has endured several wars and has been passed down to this day. The production technique is very delicate and requires four steps: pastry making, dough mixing, cake making, and frying. It is golden in color, distinct in layers, crisp but not broken, oily but not greasy, crispy and delicious, and is deeply loved by the masses. The food sold outside now contains a lot of substances that are harmful to the human body. It doesn't matter to us adults if we eat it, but we don't worry about it if our children eat it. Therefore, if we make it ourselves, it is not only hygienic, but also no worse than what is sold outside.
