　　Yang Mazi Pancakes

　　In the late Qing Dynasty, during the Guangxu era (1896), Yang Yutian from Funing County, Hebei Province, fled to Tao’nanying (now Tao’n City) in Jilin Province with his family due to hardship. To make a living, he set up a street stall making pancakes. Thanks to his unique skills and the irresistible aroma of the pancakes, they caught the fancy of then warlord Wu Junsheng

　　(nicknamed Wu the Big-Tongued). Moreover, as Yang had been mildly pockmarked since childhood, the pancakes came to be known as Yang Mazi Pancakes.

　　The second-generation successor, Yang Qing, inherited the authentic recipe and expanded the business, gaining widespread fame across the grasslands and becoming popular throughout the three eastern provinces. The third-generation successor, Yang Fugui, carried on the family legacy, drawing inspiration from various sources and innovating constantly, eventually developing over ten product varieties including Yang Mazi Pancakes, Yang Mazi Pie, and Yang Mazi Stewed Pancake. The business has thrived and remained enduring to this day.

　　Since its inception, Yang Mazi Pancakes have gone through many ups and downs, standing out uniquely. After being officially registered as a trademark by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce in 1986, they have successively won awards such as the “National Gold Award,” “China Famous Food,”

　　“Traditional Famous Snack,” and “Popular Flavor Snack Loved by the Public.”
