As a traditional Chinese snack, crispy pastry has a long history. Cheng YaoJin, one of the 24 founding fathers of the Tang dynasty, made his living selling crispy pastry in JinHua in his early years. One day, he made too many pastries that he didn't sell them all. He saved pastries and prepared to sell it next day. However, if the pastries go bad, they can't be sold anymore. So, Cheng YaoJin came up with an idea: if I put them all on the hearth, let the fire keep baking, then the pastries must not going to go bad!
The next day, when Cheng got up, the meat oil in the pastry was been better baked. When this cake came into the market, it immediately attracted many people. People saw that Cheng's pastries was very different from before, and they all wanted to taste it.
That's how the crispy cake comes from.
