Water caltrop pastry
The batter is thin and the exterior is crisp; the water caltrop inside is soft with a slightly grainy texture. It has a good texture when freshly fried, while letting it cool slightly brings out more of the flour aroma; if left too long, it may develop a stale-oil smell. It is slightly sweet overall and can become cloying if you eat too much.
