Nanchang sugar cake

Náncháng Táng Bǐng (Nanchang Sugar Pastry) is a traditional sweet pastry from Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi. The pastry has a flaky, layered crust filled with a caramelized sugar center. When fried, the sugar melts into a golden, gooey filling that contrasts beautifully with the crisp exterior. It is a beloved street snack and childhood memory for many Nanchang residents.
