　　The pastry, also known as "Horseshoe Crisp" or "Honey-Permeated Pastry," is a renowned halal food item with over 100 years of production history.

　　The ingredients used to make halal honey pastry include flour, sesame oil, water, maltose, and peanut oil.

　　The production method is as follows: first, the flour is rubbed with sesame oil to form a dry, flaky mixture, and the remaining flour is thoroughly emulsified with sesame oil and water to form a water-oil dough. The oil dough is then wrapped inside the water-oil dough, flattened, and rolled into a rectangular thin sheet. It is folded into three layers, rolled out again into a rectangular thin sheet, rolled up, and cut into pieces. Each piece is cut in half lengthwise with the cut side facing outward to form a horseshoe shape. The raw pieces are then fried one by one in hot oil over low heat until they float to the surface, the layers expand, and they are fully cooked. They are then removed and placed in a container with holes. Maltose syrup and honey are poured over the hot pastries while still warm. Once the pastries are fully saturated with the honey syrup, they are ready.
