Having the family together for the Chinese New Year is a joyous time and the Chinese mark the occasion with foods that symbolize happiness. One of these is a Chinese pastry known as “Smiley Sesame balls”. Made from a baking powder leavened dough, the balls crack open when deep-fried and resemble smiling faces, which means that the person who eats it will always be happy throughout the year. This time, Grandma Chan is going to make an improved version of smiley sesame balls, which are lighter, tastier, and healthier than the ones you can buy in the market. Once you know the characteristics of the ingredients, you will be able to make those smiley sesame balls without failure! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Ingredients: All-purpose flour 280g (approx. 2 1/4 cup) Corn starch 10g (1 tbsp) Tapioca flour 10g (approx. 1 1/3 tbsp) Baking powder 1.5g (approx. 3/4 tsp) Salt 0.2g Honey 20g (approx. 3 tsp) Stevia 2g (1/2 tsp) Tea oil 50 ml Egg 2 pcs White Sesame 300g ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Oil temperature: 140-150 °C, with small bubbles. ★Key points: The dough will be less puffy and moist without the addition of sugar. After the dough has been dipped in white sesame, it is best to put it in the fridge before deep-frying. Chill the dough at a low temperature for an hour at a few °C so that it will be crispier after frying. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Smiley Sesame Balls for Chinese New Year!
