　　This ancient delicacy, Fried Pastry, is a traditional snack consumed by the Mongolian people while enjoying milk tea. It is prepared using wheat flour combined with sugar, eggs, yogurt or milk, and cream or butter. The dough is shaped into hemp leaf patterns, stretched into noodle-like strands, or flattened into sheets, and then cut into small sticks or triangles. These are deep-fried in beef tallow or mutton tallow (now also using vegetable oil) until they turn golden yellow. They can be eaten as is or dipped into hot milk tea.
