蛋黄酥, also known as salted egg yolk pastry, is a popular Chinese snack that features a flaky, golden crust filled with a sweet and savory mixture. The main ingredient is the salted egg yolk, which gives the pastry its distinctive flavor. Often enjoyed during festivals or as a treat, it is a favorite among many. The pastry is typically made with a combination of flour, sugar, and lard or butter, creating a rich and tender texture. It is commonly found in Chinese bakeries and is often served during celebrations like the Mid-Autumn Festival. The delightful contrast of the sweet filling and the savory yolk makes it a unique culinary experience.
