Shortbread
Overview
Taste Shaanxi delicacies with the hit drama "That Year the Flowers Bloomed and the Moon Was Full". As a foodie, every TV show can be viewed as an introduction to local food. In the first episode of a recently popular TV series, Empress Sun Li was attracted to the street looking for delicious food. There are many delicacies in Shaanxi, including steamer cakes, puff pastry, beef and mutton steamed buns, steamed noodles, cold skin, steamed buns, etc., each of which makes people drool. Today I learned to make puff pastry. I used lard and made it salty (I don’t like sweet taste), which makes it more crispy and delicious. Of course, there is no deep-frying, just fry it in less oil, which is healthier, less oily, and less irritating.
