Longsang Temple Crispy Sugar Flatbread

Last updated 2026-11-10 — Round as a full moon, its color faintly yellow; fried flour blended with oil, sugar added just right. 　　Famed far and wide, it’s truly worth every bite—trace its roots to the Xie Family Pastry Shop. 　　Crispy Sugar Flatbread is a traditional delicacy of Shanghe, first created by the Xie family pastry shop in Longsang Temple Town during the Guangxu era of the Qing Dynasty. Its main ingredients are sugar, oil, and flour. The dough is pan-fried and layered to create crispness, mixed with sesame oil, rolled into flatbreads, stretched into strips, folded into multi-layered dough sheets, then filled with sugar, peanuts, walnut kernels, and candied fruits before being baked in a steaming oven. It is round as a full moon, golden-yellow in color, and boasts a crispy, fragrant, and sweet taste—delicious and long celebrated. In recent years, the “Jiangouben” (Just Worth It) small shop in the county town has been the best place to try it.
