Flaky, Buttery, Ox Tongue Pastry! (酥皮版牛舌饼) | The Chinese Cuisine

This flaky, buttery pastry is in the shape of an ox tongue and it has delicious filling that is nutty, sweet, salty with a bit of spice! This is a popular snack from Beijing. Instead of making the outer pastry traditionally in two steps like we did in our moon cake video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aEa2W9-CAQ&t=212s), we used puff pastry! It can either be store-bought, or you can watch our homemade puff pastry video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a64xC7ena00).
