Tianjin confectionery eight pieces

Tianjin confectionary size eight pieces, is and Beijing-style pastry along. In the past, eating pastries sent by relatives and friends in the Spring Festival did not know to ask the name of the pastries inside. The other day by chance and a pastry store of the old man to talk, he told me the name of the size of the eight pieces.

Eight pieces is the use of hawthorn, rose, plum, sugar, bean paste, jujube paste, salt, raisins and other eight kinds of filling, wrapped in oil-containing surface, placed in a variety of patterns of molds carefully baked into the surface. There are various shapes such as cashew, drum, Buddha's hand, bat, peach, pomegranate, etc. and they are small and exquisite. It is crispy in the mouth and has a pure flavor. The special product is fine eight pieces, the production of fine layers of uniform, soft filling sand, fruit flavor is pure and thick. Appearance also has three immortal, silver ingot, osmanthus, blessing, fortune, life, happiness peach and other eight kinds of patterns, is a high-quality products in the confectionery. The big eight pieces are usually eight pieces of one **** a catty, and the small eight pieces are usually eight pieces of one **** half a catty.

Later read a book on diet, which mentioned the following paragraph: the size of the eight pieces include, since the red, since the white, Poria cake, flowers and rose cake, cut edge cylinder stove, Sachima, honey gong, polygonum, a product of the cake, Buddha's hand, jujube flowers, wind and clouds, petals, bats, apples, peaches, lotus leaves and so on. The fillings usually include several kinds of Bai Guo, rose, hawthorn, pretzel, date paste and bean paste.

Also, Xiao Mixed seems to be a soybean product now.

Look, we have a rich variety of pastries ah, although our pastries originated in Beijing, but a lot of people think that Tianjin pastry flavor into its own school, a lot of Beijing people are particularly fond of.

Now the size of the eight pieces or as the New Year's Eve, wedding and other traditional Chinese customary gifts, boxes of red packaging, loaded with our tradition, our culture. When biting into these pastries can not help but be proud of our food culture.

Now there are a lot of young people do not like to eat the old traditional pastries, each pastry store are some middle-aged and old people in the purchase. It turns out that our traditional pastries have been competing with western cream cakes for half of the market. It seems that the traditional cakes also need to have a sense of crisis.

May our pastries always have our "Chinese flavor" and keep our "Jin flavor" forever.
