The origin of Longchuan beef tendon cake
Beef tendon cake origin: Longchuan, Guangdong. Legend: Once upon a time, a strange thing happened in the mountainous area of Longchuan County. A person who likes to play magic turned to the pastry business. In order to attract customers, he drove a big buffalo to the street, carrying a small cloth bag around his waist and shouting "beef tendon cake" along the street. Many people in the street are curious to see what beef tendon cakes are. Someone wants to buy a beef tendon cake from him, and the other hand pulls a long "beef tendon" from under the rib and sends it to the customer. People were stunned by his wonderful hands. Buyers of beef tendon cakes don't know whether these cakes are true or not, so they cut them out and give them to everyone. Everyone is full of praise when eating, saying that beef tendon cakes are fragrant and greasy, sweet but not greasy, soft but not sticky, cool but not crisp, and have a unique flavor. Since then, beef tendon cakes have become famous in Longchuan County, and magicians no longer have to drive cattle to the streets to sell them. Instead, they opened a beef tendon cake shop in the town, and business has been booming since then. In fact, Longchuan beef tendon cake is not made by magic. The magician's "cramp" from Buffalo is just a means of doing business. Technology: Longchuan beef tendon cake is made of Longchuan high-quality glutinous rice flour mixed with several sugars. It has many production processes and precise technical requirements. From grinding to adding sugar to cooking into cakes, it takes more than twice as long as ordinary cakes. This beef tendon cake is fragrant and greasy, sweet but not greasy, soft but not sticky, cool but not crisp, and has a unique flavor. /data/2006/04 10/article _ 5923 . shtml
