  • Osmanthus cake and thousand-layer cake Make Tips

    1. Both pastries are made with semi-leavened dough, so they should not be fermented for too long. 2. Peanut oil or lard can be used to make the thousand-layer cake. 3. These two pastries are best eaten hot; since the Osmanthus cake contains glutinous rice flour, it is best eaten while it is hot. 4. If candied green and red peel are unavailable, they can be substituted with other ingredients. Friends in Beijing can purchase them at Daoxiangcun, where Osmanthus sauce is also sold.
