It is said that in the past, the He surname was a famous family in the Huangqiao area. During the more than 120 years from the 16th year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty to the 35th year of Wanli, the He family once had the glory of "Four Jinshi and Ten Scholars". Although He Xuan was only a tribute during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, she has written a lot. The 80 volumes of her "Yun Shi" are currently in the Beijing Library.

  • huangqiao sesame cake Make Tips

    Characteristics of this sesame seed cake: golden color, burnt aroma, crispy outer skin, and fresh inside. Warm tips: 1. Prepare the crispy dough at 30%. You don't need too much. It is best to have the same hardness as the water surface. 2. Heshui dough should be slightly softer than steamed bun dough in the north. The dough does not need to be fermented for too long and can be soaked at room temperature for more than 10 minutes. The dough cannot be kneaded by hand. It should be beaten to make a delicate and soft dough. It will not be easy to knead the dough to produce the tendons. After beating, relax for 10 minutes. 3. The stuffing does not need to be wrapped very fully, just 70% full. If the stuffing is wrapped too much, it will easily burst during baking. 4. Huangqiao sesame cakes can be made into round, oval or rectangular shapes, and are generally mostly round and oval shapes. The fillings can be sweet or salty, and generally pay attention to the seasons. The salty ingredients include crab roe pork, leek shrimp, suet shredded radish and ham stuffing. The sweet fillings generally include osmanthus and white sugar sesame stuffing, nut suet white sugar stuffing, bean paste stuffing, lotus seed stuffing, etc. are all okay.
