Toad pastry

-Fang Su Jiangdu's Fang Su, Taixing's Huangqiao Sesame Cake, Gaoyou's Qin You Dong Tang and Taizhou's Ma Cake, these four types of refreshments have always been famous products in suburban counties of Yangzhou. Fang Su can become a representative refreshment in Jiangdu because of its beauty, which makes those who have not eaten "smell the fragrance" and those who have eaten "know the taste and stop". First of all, its materials are exquisite, and it is necessary to choose the best white flour, soft sugar, distiller's grains sesame oil or peanut oil, sesame seeds, fragrant rafters and so on. Secondly, it is necessary to grasp the seasonal characteristics, such as the size of flour fertilizer, the amount of alkali put, the water temperature and water quantity of flour, etc. all need to change with the season. Once again, it is the key to grasp the navel, so that the length, width and thickness are the same, and the head is drawn in the middle of the navel to form a square. Finally, pay attention to baking. First, burn the stove with firewood. After it is cooked, brush the furnace cavity and oil it. Only after the primer is evenly distributed can it be attached to the stove. Easier said than done, it takes four hours to bake alone, and the fire must be evenly distributed from top to bottom, and the temperature is not well mastered. It is either scrapped in the furnace or can't be peeled off and smashed into pieces, so it is also called "Kung Fu Crisp". The taste of the square crisp is really good. Looking at the appearance, the upper sesame seeds are full and crystal clear. Layer upon layer in the body, as thin as cicada's wings, crisp but not hard, soft but not sticky, instant in the mouth, sweet and pleasant. A good square crisp falls to the ground one foot from the ground and breaks when it touches the ground. Its crispness and crispness are hard to describe in words. Because of this, the food is not only influential in Yangzhou, but also often talked about by overseas Chinese with great interest. Some people even wrote a jingle saying: the image is-,the name is crisp and the name is Fang; Give gifts to relatives and friends, and taste them; Popular, both sweet and fragrant; Snap your fingers and you'll get a strong sense of hierarchy. Jiangdu specialty enjoys a good reputation.
