On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, people worship the moon god. Empty cakes are an essential tribute for Wugang people to burn pomelo and worship the moon god.
Short cakes need maltose cooked by traditional ancient methods, and only early rice can make good maltose. Early rice should be carefully selected by sugar makers, and orange peel and winter wheat malt powder should be added.
Whether Wugang empty cake is made well depends on the quality and quantity of maltose.
Short cakes are divided into ten processes: kneading dough, kneading dough, mixing stuffing, kneading stuffing, wrapping stuffing, pressing cakes, making cakes, adding sesame seeds, making cakes again and baking.
The empty cakes freshly baked in Wugang are brown in appearance and thin and hollow in skin. The flat bottom of the empty cake is covered with sesame seeds, and the bottom of the cake is covered with a layer of black and red sugar coating, which is sweet and crisp. Wugang empty cake is crisp and fragrant, with pure natural nut flavor and mellow flour. Chew it gently, and the empty cake bursts into a crunchy "boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. If you touch the skin with your tongue, it will melt and can be eaten by the elderly and children. If you want to feel crispy, put the softened empty cake in the microwave oven for 30 seconds, and it will return to the fresh state.
Wugang empty cakes are all hand-made, and dozens of workshops are spread all over urban and rural areas. Among them, Yin's brother and sister inherited their ancestral business and innovated on the basis of traditional crafts, and were rated as the top ten famous foods in Wugang at the third food festival on 20 17.
