Crispy kidney bean and red dates
Overview
I made some kidney bean and red date filling and didn’t use it up for making bread, so I used it to make this one-bite cake. The puff pastry is relatively simple to make. You don’t need to use mille-feuille pastry or whipped butter. You can just knead it directly with butter. It is a snack with almost no difficulty, and it is still crispy and delicious in the mouth. Personally, it tastes better than mille-feuille pastry. Haha, maybe it’s because I don’t particularly like puff pastry.

Ingredients
Steps
-
I made my own kidney bean and red date filling, I deliberately didn’t make it too crumbly, and the filling was a bit grainy
-
Remove the refrigerated butter from the refrigerator and add powdered sugar. The butter does not need to be softened.
-
Sift in flour
-
Knead it into a sandy state with your hands. The butter is not softened, but is directly kneaded with flour. This process of letting the flour wrap the butter actually acts as a shortening
-
Add the egg liquid into the kneaded flour
-
Gently knead the dough, don't over-knead it, so as not to affect the shortening. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for half an hour
-
Roll the dough into a rectangular piece with a thickness of about 3 mm, roll the filling into a long strip and place it on top
-
Roll up and wrap tightly
-
Cut into sections
-
Brush the surface with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds
-
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees for 5 minutes, put it in the oven, put the second layer on the bottom, and bake for 20 minutes
-
Baked and crispy. The size I made was a bit big, so I couldn’t eat it in one bite. The heroic type is crispy in one bite, haha.
