Crystal Baked Pie, Weinan

The crystal steamed cake is a famous local snack. The cake got its name because the stuffing is as translucent and glittering as a crystal. In Song Dynasty (960-1279), the crystal baked pie enjoyed equal popularity as the esculent swift’s nest, tremella, and even Jinhua ham (Produced in Jinjhua City in Zhejiang Province, it is one of the best bacon products in China). The major ingredients are wheat flour, fine white sugar, crystal sugar, lard and sweet-scented osmanthus flower. The crystal baked pie looks golden. It tastes fragrant and cool, and it is also very nutritious. Letian Brand crystal baked pie is the best produced in Weinan City. The pie looks elegant and tastes as fragrant as rose flowers but not greasy. Anyway, it makes superior presents for the friends.
