Take a gentle bite, and the rich pineapple flavor will immediately melt in your mouth. What's special is that it is sweet but not greasy, and it is crispy and unforgettable! <br /><br />Origin of pineapple crisp:<br /> According to legend, pineapple cake originated in the Three Kingdoms Period. Its pronunciation in Minnan dialect is also called "Wanglai", symbolizing the meaning of descendants and grandchildren. Pineapple is also a common tribute used by Taiwanese people in worship, taking its meaning of "Wangwang" and "Wanglai"., so in contemporary Taiwan wedding customs.
Xiancao Frozen Milk Tea

Xiancao Frozen Milk Tea

In summer, walking on the street, you will find ice water shops and milk tea shops everywhere. There are also more cold drink stalls. Although I am not very confident about the ingredients in the stall, I always like to drink a glass of ice whenever I am sweating from shopping. In fact, these cold drinks are very simple and you can make them yourself at home. Simple, fast, healthy and delicious. <br />Especially milk tea. If you make it yourself, you will definitely no longer like to drink it on the roadside, because after you drink the real milk tea cooked by yourself, you will find that there is, perhaps, not a single piece of tea outside. What I make is the real material. The strong milky aroma collides with the fresh tea flavor, and there is also the tender and smooth fairy grass jelly. How can one cup be enough to enjoy?!

Sun cake, also known as "sun cake", is a kind of pancake made of maltose filling, which is similar to "wife cake". This snack originated in central Taiwan and is one of Taiwan's most representative specialties. The skin of the sun cake is crisp and fragile, and the residue will drop even if you touch it lightly with your hands. The filling is sweet and delicious, not greasy or sticky. I think this is the crispy meringue I have ever made. <br />It is said that Taiwanese people are very particular about eating this sun cake. Because it is a sweet tooth, they all have to drink tea first to keep their mouths fresh before eating the cake. Sun cakes are often eaten with almond tea, flour tea, etc. It has been reported that although there are many shops selling suncakes on various streets in Taiwan, there are long queues at the doorsteps of each house. Business is booming. Not only are local people very interested, but there are also an endless stream of tourists from the mainland. On the one hand, this cake is representative in Taiwan, on the other hand, the taste and taste are really excellent! <br />The method of making this cake is basically the same as making ordinary meringue. First, mix the water and oil skins, and then roll out the layers. However, when baking, you can keep the original appearance without brushing the egg liquid on the surface. The sun cakes that you buy often will be printed with the red letter of "Sun Cake", so we can save it. When making this sun cake in some places in Taiwan, they are also very particular about flour. There is a proportion of high and low gluten flour. I only used low-gluten flour, and there is no difference. It is crisp and crisp, sweet but not greasy!

Pineapple crisp: As the name suggests, it is pineapple filling with meringue. When pineapples are on the market in large quantities, I bought fresh pineapples and wax gourd and made pineapple filling. It is absolutely zero-preservative, which shows my concern and love for my family! <br />Pineapple crisp has a natural milk aroma on the skin. It tastes crispy and medium fluffy and melts immediately in the mouth. The filling has a natural pineapple fruit aroma, moderate sweet and sour, and has a Q feeling.
