2008-03-18
Dough flowers are not only a food but a work of art nice to look at.As the name implies,they are made of wheat flour,though sometimes mixed with glutinous rice flour for greater stickiness.Dough Flowers They are very popular in the Chinese countryside,and those made in Luochuan in northern Shaanxi Province,called huamo(or"flowery bread")by the local people,are particularly well-known.On the eve of festivals or ceremonial occasions such as a wedding or a funeral,the local womenfolk will inevitably turn their thought to preparing dough flowers.No patterns are needed,but their nimble fingers can in no time shape a ball of dough into a flower,a bird,a chick or a duckling.A blossoming flower is made by cutting out the petals with scissors,the flumage of bird wings by pressing with a comb,and black or green beans will make the eyes of little animals.
