Meat patties are a kind of halal food. The prepared meat pie is crispy outside and tender inside, and the beef is rich in flavor. It's very delicious, and it has been passed down to the present. The shape of the meat patty is very special. The round cake is very similar to the sesame cake we usually eat, but its thickness is surprisingly thick, which is also a major feature. Generally, the diameter is about 5 cm and the thickness is about 3 cm. It is precisely because of this thickness that more meat can be accommodated in it, which makes the patties more fragrant and appetizing. Whenever I come home after a busy day, I will make two homemade beggar cakes and take a bite. This satisfaction is beyond words.
The main ingredients of doornail patties are beef, green onions and thin wheat dough, which are generally about 3 cm thick and 5 cm wide. It is named because its shape is very similar to the doornail on the door of the Forbidden City. Traditional and authentic doornail patties, with thin skin, crispy inside, full of oil juice and delicious taste, have been circulating in Beijing for a long time and are also veritable Muslim snacks for Muslims. Not only adults and children in Beijing love to eat it, but also many foreign tourists who come to China secretly like its unique taste, and even become a topic they relish after dinner. Although the doornail patties are crispy and delicious, you shouldn't eat too much. Better eat it while it's hot. Once the patty gets cold, the rich butter sauce will solidify when it cools, which will not only reduce the flavor, but also stick to the mouth, making the taste worse.
People always deliberately pour some old vinegar on the doornail patties before eating them, which not only avoids the greasy taste, but also increases the flavor of the patties. Can be said to kill two birds with one stone, and delicious.
