When I was a child, I lived at my grandfather's house, and the mung bean cake in my hometown was my favorite. Freshly baked mung bean shortbread, the puff pastry crumbly when touched, you can see the indentation full of mung bean when broken. I took it carefully every time, for fear of accidentally breaking it. But I was very impatient and wanted to eat it quickly. When I was in a hurry, my grandfather always told me to eat slowly. After going out to study and work, I go back once a year. Only during the Spring Festival can I taste the unforgettable taste of hometown. The unforgettable is the mung bean cake, the unforgettable is the nostalgia, the unforgettable grandfather who is getting old and white-haired.

Tips:
1. Make 24 recipes.

2. The oily skin must be kneaded until it has good ductility and slack. In addition, the softness and hardness of the oily skin should be the same as that of the oily pastry. This way it won't break when rolling.

3. In addition, to prevent drying, remember to cover with plastic wrap during operation.
