Jimo Honey Three-Cuts

　　Jimo Honey Three-Cuts is a specialty of Jimo City, Qingdao, Shandong Province. The product is dark brown in color, featuring a bright sheen, sweet yet not greasy taste, and a soft, palatable texture, making it especially popular among children and the elderly.

　　Honey Three-Cuts was originally one of the traditional products of the private teahouse confectionery “Fuyuzhai” in Jimo City. In the early 1980s, Qingdao Limin Food Factory resumed the production of this traditional tea-time snack. The product is mainly made from flour, peanut oil, white sugar, and sesame seeds. During production, the ingredients are first mixed evenly and kneaded into dough, which is then wrapped with a layer of outer skin, rolled into a 1 cm thick flat cake, and coated on the outside with sesame seeds. It is then cut into small pieces measuring 3 cm in length and 2 cm in width, with three knife cuts made on the surface. These pieces are deep-fried in boiling oil at 150 degrees Celsius until fully cooked, then coated with sugar syrup to produce the final dark brown finished product.
