Milk Pastry
乳饼
Milk pastry, looking like white tofu, is a kind of cheese made by Bai people in Dali district and Sani people in Lunan district of Yunnan Province. In Bai language it is called “ yond bap”, which means making of milk or goat milk. Milk pastry made of goat milk is of the best quality. Either fired or raw milk pastry with the flavorings of sugar and salt tastes great.
乳饼是云南大理白族人和路南撒尼人制作的一种奶酪(cheese)的名称。白语称为yond bap用牛奶或山羊奶制成。用山羊奶制成的质量最好。白色块状。酷似豆腐块。 沾白糖、椒盐生吃或者下油锅煎吃都很爽口。
There is a story about the origin of milk pastry. A long time ago, when winter comes people herd sheep flocks in weed-rich areas which are far from villages. Over the long distance from pastures to the villages, fresh milk has already gone sour. As a result, quite much goat milk is wasted.
