【Chinese pastry--sesame bean paste cake】

Overview

This was my first time trying to make puff pastry, and it was quite successful. It was simple, crispy, and fragrant, but it looked a bit casual. I might try Napoleon or croissant in the future. Chinese pastries have always been a favorite of my parents and grandpa, and they always feel more delicious than Western pastries. The crispy crust and sweet filling give people a great sense of satisfaction. Next time you wrap the filling, you need to be gentler, otherwise the pastry will break easily.
