Crispy Red Bean Pastry & Purple Sweet Potato Pastry (Vegetable Oil Version)

Love red beans, and love pastries even more! This recipe makes 24 pieces. The red bean filling is extra, and the leftover can be frozen for later use.

Ingredients

All-purpose flour (Oil Dough)200g
Sugar (Oil Dough)30g
Corn Oil (Oil Dough)60g
Water (Oil Dough)90g
Cake Flour (Oil Crisp)160g
Corn Oil (Oil Crisp)60g
Red Bean (Filling)200g

Steps

1

Cook the red beans in a pressure cooker with 1.5 times water until soft. Use a blender or rolling pin to mash them! Add sugar according to preference, tasting along the way. If the mixture is too liquid, stir-fry it in a wok. I prepared more than enough red beans (200g), froze the extra for next time. Roll the red bean paste into 20g balls, 24 pieces!
