驴打滚,驴打滚又称豆面糕,是北京小吃中的古老品种之一,它的原料是用黄米面加水蒸熟,和面时稍多加水和软些。另将黄豆炒熟后,轧成粉面。制作时将蒸熟的黄米面外沾上黄豆粉面擀成皮,然后抹上赤豆沙馅(也可用红糖)卷起来,切成100克左右的小块,撒上白糖就成了。制作时要求馅卷得均匀,层次分明,外表呈黄色,特点是香、甜、粘,有浓郁的黄豆粉香味儿。
豆面糕以黄豆面为其主要原料,故称豆面糕。但为什么又称“驴打滚”呢?似乎是一种形象比喻,制得后放在黄豆粉面中滚一下,如郊野真驴打滚,扬起灰尘似的,故而得名。
如今,很多人只知雅号俗称,不知其正名了。现各家小吃店一年四季都有供应,但大多数已不用黄米面,改用江米面了,因外滚黄豆粉面,其颜色仍为黄色,是群众非常喜爱的一种小吃。
