Walnut Crisp (0 Failures) (Revised Version)

Crispy and crunchy, perfectly balanced sweetness and saltiness. It’s incredibly delicious, so let’s make it right away! The second time, I used white sesame instead of black sesame since I ran out. It’s best not to randomly alter the amount of flour; adding too much will make it less crumbly, but it becomes crunchy instead, giving it another flavor. All in all, 0 failures 😋

Cooking Tips

1. Just mix all the ingredients into a dough; don’t knead. 2. Keep a close eye during the last two minutes as every oven browns differently.
