Peanut Crisps

Overview

I remember when I was a kid, my relatives came from out of town to visit and brought over a can of Shaolin Temple vegetarian cakes (now known as peanut cakes). Sammy never knew there were snacks like this in the world. The round appearance, attractive golden color, and rich peanut flavor make people want to take a bite. As the youngest member of the family, Sammy was honored to be the first one to try it. Sure enough, the crispy texture, thick cream and mellow aroma of peanuts made Sammy unable to stop! So this little jar of shortcakes became Sammy’s treasure at that time. At that time, he was only willing to eat two pieces a day. However, because there were too few, they were all digested by Sammy within a few days... But the texture and taste were deeply imprinted on Sammy’s young heart~ Today, Sammy is here to share with you how to make this favorite snack of his childhood. Portion size: about 18 yuan

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Weigh the peanuts first, then pour them into the pot and stir-fry them (you don’t need to add oil if you stir-fry them dry, the small crisps produced this way will have a richer aroma~)

   

2. 2 After frying, crush the peanuts with a crusher (don’t crush them too much to preserve the texture of the peanuts). If you don’t have a crusher, you can put the peanuts into a plastic bag like Sammy did and crush the peanuts with a rolling pin~

   

3. 3 Soften the measured butter, add powdered sugar and egg yolks after softening, and beat with a whisk until fluffy. Since Sammy uses less ingredients, it can be whipped with a manual egg beater. If you are making a lot of food, it is recommended to use an electric egg beater.

   

4. 4 Sift the weighed low-gluten flour into the whipped butter using a flour sieve, then stir evenly with a rubber spatula to form a batter.

   

5. 5 Pour the fried and chopped peanuts into the batter and knead evenly with your hands to form a dough.

   

6. 6 Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the baking sheet (remember to put tin foil underneath)

   

7. 7 Slightly flatten the ball with your hands, preheat the oven to 175 degrees, and brush a layer of egg yolk on the small ball

   

8. 8 After brushing, put the baking sheet into the preheated oven, adjust to the baking position, and set the time for 10 minutes. Pay attention to observation at any time, and bake until the surface turns golden brown and it is ready to be baked ~
