Ox-tongue pastry ({{zh|t=牛脷酥|p=niúlìsū|j=ngau⁴ lei⁶ sou¹}}) or horse-ear pastry ({{zh|t=馬耳|p=mǎěr}}), is a Chinese pastry that is popular in south China in the provinces of Guangdong and Fujian. It is a fried dough food that is elliptical in shape and resembles an ox tongue or a horse ear. The pastry texture is chewy, with a soft interior and a crunchy crust. Ox-tongue pastry is lightly sweetened, and eaten as part of breakfast with soy milk. The pastry is made in a similar way as Youtiao, with sugar typically added to the flour.
