Egg yolk pastry or Dànhuángsū is a traditional Taiwanese mooncake of which the filling is made of salted duck egg yolk and red bean paste.[2][3] According to the "Baked Food Information Magazine" in August 1986, the inventor of mini mooncakes and egg yolk pastries is Chen Zengxiong, the third generation descendant of the century-old bakery "Baoquan" in Fengyuan District, Taichung.[4]

Preparation method[edit]

Egg yolk pastries use naturally fermented salted egg yolks marinated in red soil with grape seed oil, and they are made with many layers.[5][6][7]
