Tips: 1. Ghee can be purchased in the baking materials section of the supermarket, or lard can be used instead. 2. If the dough is too large, steps 5 to 8 can be performed in two steps. 3. It is recommended to put a small amount of sesame seeds on the plate each time to ensure that each sesame seed cake has a certain amount of sesame seeds. 4. Fry the biscuits in oil to make them crispy and reduce moisture loss when baking the biscuits. 5. The appearance of the shaobing is crispy, and the texture is very similar to Beijing shaobing. 6. The taste of the pastry is not outstanding enough. You can double the amount next time. 7. The cake is a bit bland, I will add more salt next time. 8. The cake is a bit thick. This time it was 3 cups of fermented dough: 2 cups of hot noodles. Next time I will try 2 cups of fermented dough: 3 cups of hot noodles. 9. Make it smaller, 12 cakes may be better.
