This is my first time making the mini Peanut Puffs (or what we called in Mandarin, Kok Chai). Since the inner ingredients is made of blended fried peanuts, I do not really fancy it. I tried this because my hubby loves them.
Ingredients:
- 1kg flour
- 1/2 bowl lard
- enough water to make into a dough
- peanuts (fried and blended)
- sugar
1. Mix lard into the 1kg dough. Add water to the right consistency.
2. Rolled the dough into a flat piece. Cut out with a cup so that you get a round flat skin to wrapped the peanuts.
3. Wrap up and seal with egg white (so that it would not open when you fry them).
4. Fry them. (First heat up the oil. Then put the puff into oil and lower down the fire. When about ready, put fire to high again to drain out all the excess oil from the puff).
I did not manage to get crunchy puff for the first time. Probably no skill in frying them or time wrongly. In future I should wear my Fossil watches to watch the timing for frying. Another thing is the challenge to wrap and platte the puff’s closing beautifully. It would be best if I have the puff mould to clip them up.
so sweet of u to bake this for ur hubby, lucky guy!
