Mix 110 grams of all-purpose flour, 8 grams of sugar, 37 grams of lard, and 40 grams of water to form a dough; mix 75 grams of low-gluten flour and 37 grams of lard to form a shortbread dough, cover with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

The oil crust is pressed into a small cake shape by hand, wrapped in the shortbread, and the mouth is upward.

Put the thick roll upright and press it down slightly, then turn it around, press it up again at the closing and roll it into a round piece, put the filling, spread the egg white on the inside of the edge, and close the mouth with the seam facing down. Press it into a circle by hand.

Divided into 10-12 small petals, 1 large petal (equivalent to 3-4 small petals), cut through between the petals, leaving about 1 cm in the center of the circle.
