Miso Biscuits (Miso Kukkii) Recipe
I was quite curious about the taste of these Miso Biscuits (Miso Kukkii) when I saw them at Eat-Japan the other day. Since I just bought a packet of miso paste, I was very eager to bake some to try and taste. You can smell the aroma of the miso while in the process of baking. The crispy biscuits are quite addictive being a little bit savoury and sweet, a perfect combination! Great to snack on with a cup of tea or coffee.
- Do you think these Miso Biscuits look like deep fried tau kwa (beancurd)?... hahaa
- Miso Biscuits (Miso Kukkii)
- Ingredients: (recipe with slight adjustments)
- 200g Plain flour, sieved
- 1 Egg (60g), lightly beaten
- 100g Butter, softened
- 80g Sugar
- 25g White miso paste
- 1 tbsp Black sesame seeds, toasted
Method:
Put the butter in the mixing bowl and beat in low speed for 1 minute then add in sugar and miso into it and continue beating until light.
Add the beaten egg gradually and mix well, then pour in all the flour and black sesame seeds. Continue to mix at low speed for about 30 seconds. Then fold batter gently with a rubber spatula to become a soft dough.
Place the soft dough on a greasedproof paper and shape to long length and roll it into a pole or square shape and roll it up. Place in the freezer for 30-45 minutes for the dough to harden for easier cutting. Alternately you can freeze the dough for 20-25 minutes, then cut the dough into cubes and roll it into ball and press flat to about 5mm thick before baking.
Bake at preheated oven 180 degrees C for 15 - 20 minutes until slightly browned.
Leave to cool on baking pan and store in an airtight container.
