Eat sesame cakes in long summer, and Jiaxing long summer cakes are fragrant?

In the long summer, there are many unique solar food customs in Jiaxing, such as eating "wild rice" according to the old tradition, eating boiled eggs and cook the meat, and tasting fresh long-summer commodities in the sea, on the ground and on trees, such as broad beans, yellow croaker and cherries. However, what Bian Xiao is going to introduce to you today is another Jiaxing long-summer food, that is, long-summer flat cakes. Let's take a look now. Long summer flat cake, also known as malt flat cake, is a snack with a long history in Jiaxing. It is popular in Jiaxing every year in the long summer. Besides eating at home, it is also a gift for relatives and friends. Delicious and practical. According to the older generation, there is an eternal story about the origin of the cake collapse in the long summer.

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a white dragon on the Xiangfu swing in Xitang. A 18-year-old burly man with black horns turned into a black dragon in the long summer. After a soul-stirring battle, he finally defeated the white dragon and turned it into a huge black dam, which is the pentagonal dam in the swing of Xiangfu. From then on, Xiangfudang Lake was no longer stormy, farmland was no longer destroyed and ships were no longer capsized. In order to commemorate the black dumpling, people went to the field to pick "Tian Er" and grind flour into malt cakes to pay homage to the heroes and heroes.

Later generations gradually formed the custom of making and eating cakes in the long summer. Every long summer, people pick Tianer, malt powder and glutinous rice flour, embed them in bean paste and walnut kernel, cook them into jiaozi, put them in a steamer, fry them in oil, sprinkle sesame seeds with sugar water, and make them into malt cakes as gifts for relatives and friends. Because Tianer only grows in long summer, "Tianer"

If you only look at the appearance, the cake is not pleasing at all: flat, round, dark gray with grass color. If you look closely, you will find sesame seeds on it. Sesame mixed with gray-black skin is not delicious at all, but the cake is ugly. Once put in the mouth, it has a surprisingly good taste.

The crust made of glutinous rice flour, malt flour, wheat ears and sesame seeds is soft and sticky. The skin of the cake is not the same as that of jiaozi, but softer, more tough and more elastic than that of jiaozi. At the same time, it seems to be similar to the skin of green dumplings, but it has a unique fragrance of "Tianer" more than the skin of green dumplings.

Under such a soft skin, the long summer cake contains a "strong heart"-big walnut kernel, which tastes crisp. Different from other walnut kernels, it is wrapped in bean paste, and it tastes delicate and becomes very sweet. The bean paste melts at the entrance, and you won't feel tired after eating it. It can be described as fragrant, sweet, soft and glutinous, so delicious that it makes your mouth water.

The Long Summer Cake Crash is not only a delicious local snacks, but also a commemoration of the legendary Black Dragon's heroic fight against the White Dragon and its protection. It also expresses people's deep love for their hometown.
