How to make egg yolk crisps and ingredients

Egg yolk pastry is a common specialty snack, and its preparation method has some similarities with egg yolk mooncakes. The more traditional way of making egg yolk pastry is to use lard. Nowadays, many people don’t like to eat lard, so lard can be replaced with butter, which can be bought in supermarkets. When you make egg yolk pastry at home, although there are a lot of steps, the process is still quite enjoyable.
