Baked peanut Dumplings (油角)

The Chinese New Year is almost here, and now I'd want to share these Gok Zai (油角) , or Cantonese sweet dumplings, with you all. They have a crispy exterior and are frequently stuffed with sugar, peanuts, and sesame seeds. People will drool just by looking at it. It's nutty, aromatic, and crispy. The traditional method of making this peanut dumpling is deep frying, but I would like to share a baking method for this recipe.   The appearance of these dumplings is like a mini curry puff. However, it looks like a little plump coin purse from a different perspective– it symbolizes the fuller, the better, for a prosperous New Year! When you make the dumpling dough, make sure do not over mix the dough. Simply work all the ingredients together until they are soft and smooth. That is why I make the dough by hand to avoid over mixing. Aside from that, I like to cut my butter into small cubes as this makes it much easier to blend it into the flour mixture.  Once the dough is made, set as

Classic pineapple tart VS Cream Cheese pineapple tart

Pineapple tart is one of the must-have cookies for Chinese in Malaysia and Singapore during Chinese New Year. Is one of the traditional cookies of Baba and Nyonya in the early days. I have made two different types of pineapple tart for this year. One is the open-faced pineapple tart where the pineapple pulp is exposed, that is the pulp is placed on a butter cookie which I made with a flower cutter. The other type is a soft and melty pineapple tart whereas the cookies were made of butter, cream cheese, whipping cream, and egg yolks. The pineapple filling is wrapped inside, and the outer layer is covered with the cookie dough which is rolled into a ball shape. What made these two varieties of cookie dough different from one another? I'll say that the first variety has a pastry crumb that is really buttery. The greatest melt-in-your-mouth pineapple tart is the second kind. The cookie dough is somewhat soft, similar to the cake batter, but it is not sticky. In contrast to the open-

Mini Nuts tart

This delectable tiny caramel nut tart with a flaky pastry crust and it is packed with crunchy whole almonds, almond strips, sunflower, pumpkin, white melon, and black sesame seeds. Just think about how amazing and delicious the caramel sauce keeps these nut tarts together. It's easy to make but tastes far better than it looks. What a fantastic way to enjoy nuts! Additionally, giving it as a present is considerate. The technique is easy and basic. The nuts taste amazing! Think about an appetizer where the crunchy mixed nuts and creamy homemade caramel are combined, and the pastry crust's crispness melts into your mouth. When making this little nut tart, the crusts are crucial. Sure, store-bought crusts are available, but believe me when I say that, even though we usually just think of them as a shell for a filling, we also need to think about how the filling will taste and feel in them. I've been using a 9-inch tart pan for years to make shortbread crust for key lime p

Along with three different kinds of chocolate chips, these oatmeal cookies also include the right quantity of flaxseeds. Even though I adore cookies, it'
