How did the history of Xi'an Longxu Pastry come about

It is said that Longxusu has been popular among the people for two thousand years. It has been used as Dim sum by the emperor until the Yongzheng era when Longxusu became famous. According to legend, one day Emperor Yongzheng set up a Manchu Han banquet to entertain civil and military officials. When the imperial kitchen was making this pastry on site, Emperor Yongzheng saw its skillful technique, resembling a dragon dancing with a phoenix, and the sugar threads in his hands were snow-white and slender, like the whiskers of a auspicious dragon. He was delighted by the dragon's appearance and rewarded the concubines and courtiers with this candy, which was specially named "Dragon Beard Pastry". Since then, the beautiful name of Dragon Beard Pastry has spread throughout the country

Dragon Beard Sugar is mainly made of white sugar, glucose, peanuts, nuts, sesame, flour and other raw materials, and is finally drawn through seven processes. The process is precise, the formula is unique, and the taste is excellent

Put the maltose (or honey can also be added) in a clean small bowl, sit in a hot pot and slowly dissolve to soften the maltose. Take out the softened maltose, rub it repeatedly on the case, roll it into fine strips, fold and repeat the process. Then make the maltose into a circle, and start to pull it in the glutinous rice flour, which is similar to Lamian Noodles. Here is the key to making dragon whisker candy. It requires certain skills. After professional training, the honey can be pulled as thin as hair. After some stretching, maltose will slowly turn into fine threads of sugar dragon whiskers. Then take out a small handful of sugar dragon whiskers and add the mixed fillings such as peanut butter, sesame seeds, and coconut milk
