　　Blue Baked Cake

　　　The Blue Baked Cake is one of the famous local snacks in Jintang County. Its making process is actually quite a sight to behold. A small round black griddle is used to mix eggs and flour together, which is then poured onto the griddle and baked over a flame. Brown sugar and sesame seeds are added inside, and it’s ready in just a few minutes. It’s time-saving, convenient, and inexpensive, with many vendors selling it by the roadside for just 1 yuan each—just as common as Beijing’s Jianbing (savory crepes). Moreover, these roadside egg-baked cakes can be filled with a wide variety of ingredients, both savory and sweet. Options include pickled mustard tubers, jam, and more.
