The shallot meat is stuffed with oil and delicious
White snake baked cake is a famous snack in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and many people are curious about its name. During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a widow in Wenzhou City, whose husband's family name was Zhang, and everyone called her Zhang Widow. After the death of her husband, Widow Zhang opened a small shop selling burnt cakes to live. Because she is a northerner, she improved on the basis of the northern hu cake, and made the outer skin into a puff pastry, named the scallion oil heavy shortbread, which was deeply loved by the people. Because she wears a white shirt all year round, there are jokes that call her the white snake in "The Legend of the White Snake", and over time she has formed a brand of white snake baked cake, and everyone is also called so.
