【Pan Fried Sweet Sesame Cakes】
by MaomaoMom
It is a beautiful sunshine day outside looking through my dining room window. It is still quite cold -9C in Ottawa. However it is pleasant that I will take Mondays off until end of March to finish my unused vacation days. So I am sharing this recipe with you, hope you will enjoy as much as I do.
This Chinese dessert can be served as appetizer or after the meal. Its special homemade layered dough wrapper and sweet black sesame filling make you keep wanting for one more.
