Fried Screw Cake

Fried Screw Cake

　　Fried Screw Cake is a traditional and delicate snack from Jinan, featuring a crispy crust and tender interior, with a rich flavor of scallions. Legend has it that this screw cake was brought to Jinan over a hundred years ago by three brothers surnamed Xu from Nanjing. To cater to the local taste preferences in Jinan, the ingredients were modified, and the savory flavor quickly won the hearts of people in northern China. From then on, the business flourished, and people even started calling it “Xu Brothers’ Screw Cake.” Later, many restaurants began imitating the recipe, and thus the fried screw cake became a traditional specialty snack of Jinan.
