Hup Toh Soh
(Chinese Walnut Cookies)
Credits to
go to this blog singaporeshiok.blogspot.sg. I only changed the egg wash recipe.
Everything else I followed like 90% the original.
Dough
Ingredients:
200g plain flour,
100 g lightly toasted ground walnuts (I removed
most skins although recipe doesn't say so)
80 g of icing sugar sifted
1 tsp
baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt (the person used 1 tsp)
Method:
Combine all
these using a whisk in a large bowl. Then add 2 tsp of vanilla and 3/4 cup of
peanut oil (I replaced with Knife brand cooking oil (mix of peanut oil and
sesame oil). Mix with fingers until a
smooth dough forms, do not knead.
Preheat the oven to 175 ( I used 170) and line
a baking tray with baking paper. Shape
the dough into balls and place slightly apart and make an impression on the
centre of the dough. I recommend to use the back of the 1/2 tsp measuring spoon
to indent.
For the
glaze - she used 3 tbsp. soy milk, 1 tbsp. of the same oil, 1 tsp icing sugar.
My glaze
recipe - I used my egg wash - 1 egg, remove half the egg white and add 1/2 tsp
of icing sugar. Bake for 20 min or until fragrant and golden. ( I used only 17-18 minutes and I turned my
tray around at 12 mins). Rest on tray to
set for about 5 minutes and then remove to cool on the rack.
