Taishan Donkey Oil Sesame Cake has a paper-thin layer with a beautiful lustering color, and it tastes crispy and delicious.According to legend, more than 2000 years ago, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty offered sacrifices to Heaven on Mount Tai, he stationed　himself in the ancient Fenggao County. During a meal, a food officer added local donkey oil and other seasonings to the dough when making “mo“, the staple food for the army, and used baking techniques instead of steaming.The baked “mo” became golden in color, with sesame seeds on both sides，giving out a　tempting aroma. The food officer offered the baked “mo“ to Emperor Wu for tasting, and the “mo” turned out to be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with clear layers when cut into　halves. It was uniform in thickness, salty and delicious, and offered a long aftertaste.Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty was greatly pleased, and Taishan Donkey Oil　Sesame Cake became famous all over the country.The ancient Silk Road from Luoyang to Zhoucun stretched across the area of Mount Tai, and the merchants used the baked sesame cakes as advanced staple food and brought them to the countries of the Western Regions as gifts, which made them even more popular at that time.

泰山驢油火燒色澤美觀，層如薄紙，吃起來酥香味美。相傳兩千多年前，漢武帝封禪泰山時(shí)，駐扎在古城奉高縣。一次用膳中，有食官在做隨軍主食“饃”時(shí)，在面團(tuán)中加入當(dāng)?shù)禺a(chǎn)的驢油等調(diào)味佐料，并棄蒸為烤。成熟的“饃餅”色澤金黃，雙面有芝麻，散發(fā)出誘人的香味。食官將烤制的“饃餅”奉于漢武帝品嘗，其外松內(nèi)軟，酥香味濃，橫斷面層次清晰，且薄厚均勻，咸香適口，回味悠長。漢武帝龍顏大悅，拍案叫絕，一時(shí)間，“泰山驢油火燒”名揚(yáng)天下。古絲綢之路洛陽至周村必經(jīng)泰山一帶，過往客商皆以其為主糧并攜帶出使西域各國，作為饋贈(zèng)上品，這更使得“泰山驢油火燒”廣為流傳。

With refined flour and donkey oil as the main ingredients, Taishan Donkey Oil Sesame Cake contained other seasonings, such as pepper powder, fennel powder, sesame seeds and sesame oil. After the dough is kneaded into a flattened pastry and sprinkled with sesame seeds, it can be baked and ready for serve. The special aroma of the donkey oil and the crispness of the cake together make it a unique delicacy.It is worth mentioning that it takes more than an hour to boil the donkey oil alone, and the whole process takes three to four hours to make all the ingredients from a dough to a pastry--each step of which consists the efforts of the cook. Covered by a thick layer of black and shiny sesame seeds, wafting the smell of wheat, the baked sesame cake offers you a crispy feeling in your mouth, which leaves you a longer aftertaste.

泰山驢油火燒以精粉和驢油為主要原料，配上椒粉、茴香粉、芝麻、香油等調(diào)料，揉成面酥并壓扁搟成圓餅，蘸上芝麻烙熟即可。驢油的特殊香味，以及酥脆的口感，搭在一起口感堪稱一絕。值得一提的是，其中光熬制驢油就要一個(gè)多小時(shí)，再加上和面、醒面、制作面餅等步驟，整個(gè)制作過程需要用時(shí)三四個(gè)小時(shí)，每一個(gè)步驟都凝聚著制作者的心血。餅上滿滿一層黑亮的芝麻，飄香四溢。咬在嘴里，酥脆的感覺，讓人回味無窮。
