　　The key to both the savory and sweet crispy sesame cakes lies in their crispiness. To make them, 1 pound of oil is mixed with 2 pounds of flour along with salt or white sugar to create the oily dough. Then, using white flour in an 8:1 ratio, fermented dough is added along with water to form the outer skin dough. This skin dough is then wrapped around the oily dough. After wrapping, the mixture is divided into small pieces, shaped into small peach-like forms, coated with sesame seeds, and flattened. The shapes can be either round or square. They are then baked in the oven. The ones with salt added are called savory crispy cakes, while those with sugar added are sweet crispy cakes. Their common feature is a delightful texture that's either savory-crispy or sweet-crispy.
