Pia Maruchi is a traditional cake from Taiwan which is famous for its delicacy. This cake consists of a thin and crispy outer skin made from a mixture of wheat flour and cooking oil, with various sweet fillings, such as green beans, red beans, peanut paste, and cheese.
Usually, the outer skin is shaped like a ball and filled with stuffing, then covered and flattened, then baked on a flat griddle until the skin is browned and looks crispy. Some variants of Pia Maruchi can also be filled with fruits such as mango, melon or strawberries. Pia Maruchi can be enjoyed warm or cold, depending on taste. The sweet and crunchy taste makes this cake very suitable as a snack during the day or night, or as an appetizer for special occasions. For those who want to try to make it yourself, here are the ingredients and how to make it.
