local traditional food: Dawu sesame seed cake

In Xiaogan City, Hubei Province, Master Liu, a citizen, made sesame seed cakes on a street in Dawu Chengguan early in the morning. Delicious biscuits attract many guests to buy and eat.

Master Liu introduced that their family has been making baked wheat cakes for three generations, and their Liu family made baked wheat cakes for the third generation. They get up early every day and start making and selling them early in the morning. About 3 biscuits are produced and sold every morning, which are very popular with guests. Some foreign guests also buy them and take them back for their families to taste.

The making tool "Hanging Furnace" of "Hanging Furnace Biscuit" is quite distinctive. Its design is very scientific. The cake sticks to the ceiling-like furnace wall and does not fall off. The carbon fire burns inside, saving energy, and at the same time accumulating a high furnace temperature in a short time. Sticking the thin flour cake over the inner wall, the gas inside the flour cake expands rapidly when heated, and the volume of the flour cake increases rapidly. Light can bring people a sense of satisfaction visually. However, the nutrients such as sugar and amino acid in starch are baked in caramelization at high temperature and produce browning reaction, which makes the flour cake emit rich wheat flavor and attractive color. At this time, the unique classic food in Dawu area-"hanging furnace sesame seed cake" was released.
