Lion Cake is a traditional noted snack in Jianshui County. It’s said that it was ascribed to a man working in “the Rong Xian g Zhai”, whose family name was Wu. Because it looks like the hair on the lion’s neck, it gets the name of “Lion Cake”. It uses choice glutinous rice, rice-made maltose and a touch of sucrose as raw materials. Dip glutinous rice in the clear water for ten to fifiteen days first. Steam it then. Roll it into a ball. Press, shred and then dry it in air.  Fry it in the pan. After it cools off, wrap it with 80% maltose and 20% sucrose. Squash it. Cut it into pieces. It’s crisp, sweet and fragrant. It’s delicious.
