In the past, cutting cake shops in Beijing generally sold pot cakes in winter. In the middle of winter, if you put wooden paper on your hand and put on a pot cake that has just been put out of the pot, it will not only keep warm, but also wrap your belly for fitness. If you encounter another snowy day, you don't need to eat. Even seeing this scene will be unforgettable. It can be said: "Snowflakes float on the twelfth lunar month in the cold winter, and the green smoke inside the door calls basin cakes. The delicious food in old Beijing is unforgettable. I don't know where it is sold today."
The color is red and white, sticky, soft and sweet.
