Rose and Wisteria Pastry

　　Rose and Wisteria Pastry is a fried snack. Characteristics: golden yellow in color, crispy on the outside and tender inside, with a sweet filling. Cooking method: fried. Also known as Rose Sweet Potato Pastry, it can be served with sweet soup or as a dessert dish at banquets.

　　The filling is made from honey rose, white sugar, chopped peach kernels, and lard.

　　The sweet potatoes are washed, peeled, steamed, mashed, then mixed with glutinous rice flour to form a dough. The dough is shaped into portions, filled with the sweet filling, sealed, and slightly flattened. The pastry is first coated in egg wash, then rolled in breadcrumbs to cover both sides evenly before being deep-fried in lard until cooked.

　　Key tips: the mashed sweet potato should not be overcooked; the filling must be tightly sealed; control the frying temperature carefully to prevent sticking.
