Horseshoe sesame seed cake

A famous snack in old Beijing,"Horseshoe Sesame", was first introduced to Beijing from Jinan, Shandong Province. It has a history of more than 200 years, but it has basically disappeared now because it is baked in a hanging stove, and there is still a need for molds in the stove. I remember when I was a child, my uncle took me to buy sesame cakes. I saw sweaty masters putting the prepared sesame cake blanks into the hot stove and pasting them one by one in the mold for baking. It was very hard! After roasting, break the sesame seed cake into two layers of skins, but it is soft inside. It tastes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You can use it to sandwich the meat, or you can also sandwich the scorched rings of old Beijing. It is crispy and crispy after entering the mouth. Fragrant!
Because "Horseshoe sesame cakes" are not suitable for mass production, the process is relatively complex, and the production is very hard, but the cost is not high and cannot be sold at a good price. I remember that twenty years ago, they were only a dime a piece, which was very cheap. Later, because they couldn't make money, no one made it anymore, let alone learned it. I remember that when I was a child, I ate horseshoe sesame cakes just to put things to eat. There were donkey meat, roasted mutton or soy beef, and then I ate them with scorched rings with bean juice or flour tea. Recall that feeling and eat them. Don't mention how beautiful they are! This delicacy has not been seen since the 1980s.
After reminiscing about the delicious food from my childhood, I pondered for a long time, and tried it in the oven. The results were good. Hehe, the taste is still the same, and the crisp taste is reasonable, but because there is no mold, it is the shape that cannot be roasted out of horseshoes! Because there is no teacher to teach it, I just combine my previous experience in making sesame cakes. Below, I will summarize the practice of this horseshoe sesame cake that I have been thinking about blindly as follows;
