However, the family didn't have much white flour. So unlike the corn cakes, they couldn't just make half a basket's worth, which would last for several meals. Each person only got one large piece of flatbread. But as the name implied, it was thin, so a large piece didn't amount to much.
Granny Hua had never eaten anything so delicious. They always saved a little white flour each year, but she only ever used it to make dough drops; she had no idea how to make anything fancier.
