What 飳 means
In 餢飳, 飳 is the final character of a historical cake name.
A 2024 entry from Taiwan's Ministry of Education says 飳 is absent from 說文解字, an early Chinese dictionary, and traces later dictionary citations through 玉篇, 廣韻, 集韻 and 類篇.
The history of 餢飳 points to an oil-fried, leavened cake from a food tradition that came from outside China and was adapted by Chinese cooks. Other recorded spellings are 䴺𪌘 and 餢𩜶. A Japanese entry reads 餢飳 as ぶと and classifies it among 唐菓子, traditional confections associated with Tang China. Dictionaries separately give 飳 senses tied to ritual offerings and bait.
The documented setting is historical and lexicographic; its clearest concrete use is the food name 餢飳.
