Peanut Rolls - Nutty Treats #5
Friday, January 25, 2013
This is another treat I made for my demo. It was such a coincidence that I made so much stuff with nuts, LOL. Guess I went nuts this year.
This idea came in a sudden and I merged the idea of baklava with the popular CNY goodie that is the peanut puff (Kok Chai). Crispy fragrant pastry skin with sandy peanut filling. Ahh, Heaven for me. Baked rolls uses much less fat than deep fried.and again, peanut with ghee is match made in heaven. Yaya, I didn't use phyllo, but popiah skin is almost like it... just treat it like it :)
There are a few things to note:
1. Brush the ghee all over, thinly on one side, except for the egg wash corner.
2. Don't ground the peanut as fine as powder. Fine but not too fine.
3. Caster sugar seems too fine for this, use fine granulated instead.(gula pasir halus)
4. You can use egg white instead of whole egg for sealing.
5. Don't roll it way too tight, keep the filling loose., but neatly tucked in.
6. Bake the rolls thoroughly, if not, they won't be crispy and stay crispy.
You can use other nuts too, if you like. Cashew sounds good too, but peanut is very fragrant.
The filling looks loose when you roll it up, but after baking it's ok. It will loosen in the mouth as you chew, but not the moment when you bite it open. If the nuts and sugar is too fine, you loose the sandy effect, but all sweet and compact. Not as nice, if you ask me.

Hi Wendy,
Wow wow! So many recipes that are good for the CNY. I wonder if I can wrap the spring rolls in advance say one week? before baking them..? Can be done?
