As the saying goes: "After eating Xiqiao cake, you don't know all the dishes in the world." Today we will talk about this "Xiqiao cake", which will be unforgettable after only one bite. And this cake has a long history.
It is said that during the Ming Dynasty, there was a great official named Fang Xianfu. One day, because the cook got up too late to make breakfast, he ordered someone to make a cake from a dough and eggs and eat it in the court. Unexpectedly, the taste was sweet and delicious, which attracted the admiration of the civil and military officials. He was homesick and blurted out "Xiqiao School", which is the origin of his name.
The making process of Xiqiao Pie is very simple, just need dough, enzymes, eggs and water, but this water is very particular. You need the clear spring water of Xiqiao Mountain to make the cake fragrant, dry but not dry, and the dough is also very skillful. Knead the dough soft but not sticky, sprinkle it with a thin layer of cornflour and bake it in the oven.
The Xiqiao cake made in this way not only retains the local flavor, but also is soft and delicious, sweet but not greasy, and has a good taste. Not only does it not stick to hands, but it is also very soft and distinctive when pinched. In addition, because of its large size, it can also be used as a staple food to fill the stomach, with a hint of green tea flavor, sweet and delicious. We also use it as the base of the cake here, and spread cream fruit on it to become a birthday cake with Xiqiao characteristics and unique flavor.
Because of its flawless appearance, symmetry and roundness, it is very high-grade as a gift, and it has also become a souvenir that many tourists bring back to their hometown after playing Xiqiao. Nowadays, Xiqiao School has gone to the whole country, becoming a delicious food on the table of people all over the country, and also conveying Xiqiao's cultural feelings. I haven't eaten for years, and I really miss the taste.
