Speaking of oil cakes, old Beijing also called fat oil cakes or squeaky oil cakes. It is made by using the oily residue after refining pig fat to make pie fillings.
As the blue of the post-80s, the feelings for this kind of cake are not deep. But as a citizen born in the 1970s, I love the taste of this childhood.
When Daminmin was very young, his mother would send him to the cooperative to buy meat. At that time, the meat bought for 5 cents was all the meat for a dinner of the family! Simple satisfaction. Every winter, my mother would buy a large piece of pig fat to refine oil. Put it in an airtight jar, and the whole family can eat it for a winter.
The oily residue that has been practiced can't be wasted, and the skillful mother will make the oily cakes, so that the pancakes are delicious, and there is still oil for the pancakes!
Fragrant and crispy oil residue, with rich green onion and soft pancakes! A few streets of delicious steamed buns. The greedy and hungry people are always looking forward to this winter meal!
Now, the living conditions have become better, and it seems that I will never eat oily cakes again, but occasionally I can’t help drooling when I think of the taste and texture.
Don't be afraid, if you want to eat, let's start!

Tips:

There is already a lot of oil in the oil cake! You don’t need to put oil on the pancakes. If you think it’s not oily enough, just brush a little oil on the skin.
