<br />
'''Wheel pie''' (車輪餅) is a popular [[Taiwanese cuisine|Taiwanese]] pastry that is commonly found in [[night markets]] and street stalls across [[Taiwan]]. It is known for its distinctive round shape, resembling a wheel, and is typically filled with a variety of sweet or savory fillings.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The wheel pie has its origins in [[Japan]], where it is known as "imagawayaki". It was introduced to Taiwan during the period of Japanese rule (1895-1945) and has since become a beloved local snack. Over the years, the Taiwanese version has evolved to include a wider range of fillings and flavors, reflecting local tastes and ingredients.<br />
<br />
==Preparation==<br />
Wheel pies are made using a batter similar to that of [[pancakes]] or [[waffles]]. The batter is poured into a special round mold, and the filling is added before the pie is sealed with another layer of batter. The mold is then heated, cooking the pie until it is golden brown on the outside and the filling is heated through.<br />
<br />
===Common Fillings===<br />
* '''Red bean paste''': A traditional filling made from sweetened [[adzuki beans]].<br />
* '''Custard''': A creamy, sweet filling made from [[egg yolks]], [[milk]], and [[sugar]].<br />
* '''Taro''': A popular filling made from mashed [[taro]] root, often sweetened.<br />
* '''Chocolate''': A modern addition, appealing to those with a sweet tooth.<br />
* '''Savory options''': Some vendors offer savory fillings such as [[cheese]], [[ham]], or [[corn]].<br />
<br />
==Cultural Significance==<br />
Wheel pies are more than just a snack in Taiwan; they are a part of the cultural fabric. They are often associated with childhood memories and are a staple at local festivals and celebrations. The versatility of the fillings allows for creativity and personalization, making them a favorite among both locals and tourists.<br />
