Basic Introduction to Yangmazi Pancake

Yangmazi Pancake is the leading product operated by Yangmazi General Store, which has been rated as a Chinese time-honored brand by the country. It is a gold medal ordering dish for Jicai.

. After the reform and opening up, relying on this time-honored brand, domestic chain operations were achieved, and by 2008, the number of chain stores had grown to over 100. Its products include more than 20 famous brand series such as "Yangmazi Big Cake", "Yangmazi Hot Spoon", "Yangmazi Pie", "Yangmazi Stewed Cake", etc., which have been thriving for a long time

Now when he came to a foreign country alone, he set up a Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle) stand on the street of Taonan

Yang Yutian was clever and changed the dry soldering of Funing Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle) into soldering and baking. He put a lid on top of the iron pot and heated it up and down simultaneously, resulting in tender, soft, and crispy cakes. He also pulled the dough into pieces, oiled it and rolled it together. This way, he pulled it up into strips, and when it fell down, it was a cake. When he took it out of the pot, it was golden and fragrant. The price is not much different from others, but the taste is completely different. His cakes are big, affordable, suitable for all ages, and more and more people are buying them

Back then, a figure emerged in Taonan, who was the garrison commander Wu Junsheng, also known as Wu Dazui, and a confidant of General Zhang Zuolin, the governor of the three eastern provinces. One day, he asked his servants, "What special flavor do we have here?"

"Yes! Yangmazi pancake

"What kind of cake? Go and get some!"

Yutian became a family with three sons, and the Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle) shop became more prosperous. For the convenience of eating cakes, Wu Dashuai also asked him to move his shop to the east wall of Wu Mansion<49

That year, Yang Yutian led his son Yang Qing to drive a semi truck in Fengtian (Shenyang) with four large cars. In the evening, they arrived at the head of a black pine forest, where a group of people and horses broke out. They fired indiscriminately, and all the cars, horses, and goods were stolen

Yang Yutian led his son into the sorghum field, and the father and son managed to escape back to Taonan to continue opening their shop. However, the war in the Northeast was in turmoil, and the Taonan Mansion was also plagued with disasters, so the business of Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle) shops stopped little by little

How did the history of Yangmazi pancake come about

In the 21st year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty (1896), Yang Yutian, a native of Funing Prefecture, Hebei Province, settled in Shaji Maotu, southeast of the Khorchin Grassland (now Taonan City, Jilin Province) with his family due to a drought in his hometown. To support their family, they set up a stall to make a living by making pancakes. He used the unique cake making technique he learned from the baker in Funingji when he was young. After secret recipe preparation, Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle) had a good aroma and became famous. So he set the name of "Yutian Cake Shop", which was called "Yang Family Big Cake". Due to Mr. Yang's childhood smallpox and slight numbness on his face, people also call his cake "Yangmazi Big Cake". The second generation descendant Yang Qing's true transmission business has become even more prosperous, famous on the grasslands and fragrant in the three northeastern provinces. The third generation descendant Yang Fugui inherited his ancestors' business, learned from others' strengths, innovated, and created more than 20 famous brand series products such as "Yangmazi Big Cake", "Yangmazi Hot Spoon", "Yangmazi Pie", "Yangmazi Stewed Cake", etc., which have been thriving for a long time. Not only does it have over 100 branches in Liaoning Province, Jilin Province, Heilongjiang Province, Hebei Province, Shandong Province and other places, but it also enjoys a high reputation in the pastry industry in Hong Kong and Singapore
