Milk French Pastry

Milk French Pastry

　　Milk French Pastry is the only fermented product among traditional Chinese pastries in Hunan, boasting a history of over 70 years. Initially called “Fermented Cake,” this uniquely flavored, new type of mass-market food was an instant hit with locals upon its debut. Its popularity was so great that shops sold out quickly and began offering it only at night to attract more business, thereby boosting the local night market. It became a flagship product of the Hunan pastry industry at the time. The main ingredients include refined flour, filling sugar, milk powder, sweet wine, sodium carbonate, and baking soda. It is meticulously crafted through processes such as dough mixing, sweet wine fermentation, sugar curing, cutting, shaping, and baking. The pastry is flat and round, with a milky-white surface and a brownish-yellow bottom. It has a soft texture, a rich milky aroma, a mellow and lingering wine fragrance, and a deliciously sweet taste.
