For a long time, the historical sources of most of China's folk snacks are all various, and their story types almost cover astronomical geography, humanities, strange talk about military and even constellations, etc., of course, this is not unrelated to the rich imagination of the ancients.

White snake baked cake is actually a kind of hu cake, which seems simple, but in fact contains ingenious production methods. White snake cake is famous for its crispy taste, the key lies in the "crisp", if you want to do this, you need to add a certain proportion of puff pastry to the good dough to reconcile the texture of the heavy crisp.
In addition, the meat filling is the soul of the whole white snake baked cake, its meat filling is mainly matched with white meat and green onions, in the development process, the white meat needs to be marinated two days in advance, and when it is really used, it is added to the local green onion to stir.
Finally, the use of a traditional oven is one of the factors, and charcoal is used to make a fire to produce the most authentic flavor of the cake. Like many traditional cuisines, some metaphysical concepts are incorporated into the choice of ingredients and production, and it is necessary to use local mountain spring water or local charcoal to restore the most authentic taste.
How to master the roasting heat is the most critical point of the whole production process. For many laymen, as long as the meat filling is cooked, it can be baked, and the real connoisseur needs to do not only make the meat filling tender, but also ensure that the skin is crisp, and if you touch it, it will fall, which is the real white snake baked cake.
