Guobing, Shilianzi Town, Junan County, Linyi City, Shandong Province, has a long history. It is delicious, crispy, and chewy. In the past, agriculture was mainly done by human labor, and sometimes people were busy in the fields all day long, which gave rise to pancakes.

The authentic Shilianzi Town Guobing is Wang Hui Guobing. The method should start with the raw materials. First, select new flour from high-quality local wheat in Shilianzi Town, and use old noodles to ferment slightly. The water is the underground well water rich in trace elements in the local area. Add a certain proportion of local coarse salt water, and after hundreds of manual operations, put it into a jar to wake up the dough for 1 hour. Then, use a locally resilient locust wood stick to knead and press the dough on the panel for another hundred times until the dough molecules are fully kneaded, The teacher also needs to knead the dough by hand until it is smooth and even.

A dough weighs about 7 pounds, and the pressed dough will turn into a pancake with a diameter of about 50 centimeters and a thickness of about 3 centimeters. Use your fingers to press a pancake edge around the pancake. Then, put the rolled pancakes into the old flat bottomed iron pan on the earth stove. It needs to use wood chopping to burn the pan. The pan is on fire. The fire should be small. A big fire is easy to paste, bite hard, and a small fire is easy to nip. The pancakes should be burned on the fire for 10 minutes. Use chopsticks to poke a layer of air holes on the surface, release the internal gas, and replace the inside back and forth until both sides are golden. Tap with your hands, and the pancakes will be cooked after a hollow sound.

Wang Hui Guobing from Shilianzi Town is crispy and delicious. The finished product weighs 7 pounds each and takes 4 hours to bake before being cooked. The front side has a golden color, with a crispy skin and soft flesh, suitable for all ages.(Correspondent Kou Wenyun)
