Horseshoe crisp is mainly made of flour, sugar, maltose and lard. After the skin and stuffing are kneaded, they should be baked on the furnace wall one by one (now they are fried on an iron plate).

In three days, the martial arts department will start school. I have a white horse with a carved saddle tied to the locust tree on the left side of the field. You can ride this horse into the arena. " On the day Kobe was opened, there was a white horse under the locust tree. Zhuang Sheng entered the examination room on a white horse.
