renfeng town has a special snack called horseshoe sesame seed cake. Sesame seed cake is a kind of food baked in a special oven with flour, vegetable oil and sesame as the main raw materials. Its shape is like horseshoe, hence the name horseshoe sesame seed cake. The freshly baked horseshoe sesame seed cake is crispy and tender outside, crisp and fragrant, and full of fragrance. The horseshoe sesame seed cake is a typical snack in the Qing Dynasty, which means to let the subjects do their best for the rulers.

Zhang Benling, a snack bar in the west street of Renfeng Town, is one of the descendants of horseshoe biscuits. Zhang Benling said that there is still a story about the spread of horseshoe biscuits: more than 3 years ago, uncle Zhang Benling's ancestors fled to Beijing. He found that the business of a horseshoe biscuit shop on the roadside was particularly prosperous. So he had a brainwave and a plan came to him. He begged the owner of the biscuit shop to accept him as a helper. When working, he carefully observed and pondered every detail of the production technology of horseshoe biscuits. Soon, he secretly learned all the skills of his boss. Two years later, he said goodbye to his boss and returned to his hometown-Renfeng Town now, where he sold horseshoe biscuits. A few years ago, Zhang Benling started a business selling horseshoe biscuits in partnership with her uncle's cousin. My generous and honest cousin passed on her skills to Zhang Benling without reservation.

Zhang Benling said that her horseshoe biscuits are divided into salty and sweet flavors. Retail is in .5 yuan and .7 yuan. The production method of horseshoe sesame seed cake is very particular, and it takes more than 1 processes from production to baking. Its ingredients are strict and fine, and the flour, oil, crisp and sesame used have accurate proportions. Each biscuit weighs about two or two times, but it needs two flour products. A flour paste and crispy rolls fried in oil are made into layers, which are used as the pulp of sesame cakes. Then, another flour agent is wrapped outside, which is used as the skin of sesame seed cake. Then, it is rubbed into horseshoe shape on a smooth panel, dipped in sesame seeds and sugar, and baked on the pot surface. The oven used to bake horseshoe biscuits is quite strange. The large flat pan it uses faces down and the bottom is up. In order to maintain the required temperature in the furnace, the pot must be well pasted with mud, and the bottom of the furnace is airtight. The most ideal fuel for baking horseshoe sesame seed cake is charcoal and chaff, which can also be replaced by sawdust.
