Jinhua shortbread is golden in color, crispy and delicious. It is a traditional specialty in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, and a well-known traditional specialty for gifts to relatives and friends. The filling is made of dried vegetables as the main ingredient, so it is also called dried vegetables shortbread.
Jinhua shortbread has a long history. What is interesting is that the original creator was Cheng Yaojin, the "Hunshi Demon King". Cheng Yaojin, one of the twenty-four founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty, made a living selling biscuits in Jinhua in his early years. Once, he made too many sesame seeds, and they didn't sell out all day. He saved the pie and prepared to sell it tomorrow. However, if the biscuits go bad, they cannot be sold. Therefore, in order to prevent the biscuits from going bad, Cheng Yaojin placed all the biscuits on the side of the stove. The next day, Cheng Yaojin got up and saw that the meat and oil in the biscuits were baked out, and the crust was more oily and crispy, and it became a shortbread. The taste is better, and more people bought it.
I saw it on the Internet, so I bought it and tasted it. It was delicious, so I decided to try it myself. Since I didn't like fat, I used lard instead.
