Sunflower seed shortbread

Overview

For a pile of melon seeds, I turned out the gentleman’s version of sunflower seed puff pastry balls that I had tossed in the past few years and tossed them again. However, this time, instead of making balls as they are, they are made into flat cakes. There is also a slight change in the method. First, beat the melon seeds and sugar into a fine powder instead of adding the egg milk together and beat into a paste. Why? Dry powder is obviously easier to pour out of the food processor cup than paste. The result was still a little bit different than expected. What came out in the end was a slightly dry batter instead of the dough that was easy to grasp and knead as expected. It seems a little difficult to make it into blocks, but it is still relatively easy to solve. Using a spatula, cut strips out of the entire dough and divide into three smaller pieces. You can put a little oil on the scraper to prevent the batter from sticking to the scraper and not easily coming off. This trick also worked well, as the sticky dough that seemed difficult to shape was cut into small pieces. However, this small piece is still a little bit different from the small square with neat edges as imagined. Although the expected effect was not achieved, I found that after baking, the bars turned into thick and fat fingers, which actually looked a bit cute. . . .
