do any of you cook??? if so here's a good recipe for pocky:
(This recipe was originally in grams, so I have translated the amounts to cups and tablespoons. We weren't sure what strong baker's flour was, so we used Cake and Pastry flour)
Yeild: Makes 65
1/2 cup strong baker's flour
1/3 cup plain all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tbsp icing sugar sifted
1 tsp dried yeast
1/4 milk, lukewarm
1 tbsp tahini
1 1/2 honey
zest of 1/2 mandarin or 1/4 orange
1 1/2 butter at room temperature
1. Combine the yeast and lukewarm milk in a small bowl and stir to combine. Fit a dough hook in an electric mixer and mix the dry ingredients on a low speed.
2. In another bowl, mix the honey and tahini together. Add this mix and the milk and yeast mix to the dry ingredients. Mix together on medium speed to form a dough. Add zest and butter and 60ml water and continue mixing until the dough is firm and elastic. I needed to add a bit more flour to make the dough come together after the addition of the butter as it was a little too wet.
3. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
4. Preheat the oven to 180c. Divide hte dough into two and knead the dough until smooth then roll it out into a rectangle. Roll it out to 4mm thick (1/4 inch). With a ruler and a sharp knife, cut 5mmx15cms strips and carefully transfer these onto a lightly greased baking tray or greaseproof paper lined baking tray.
5. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes (watch it, it may take a bit longer or shorter). You want it golden brown, not light yellow as it will not "snap" properly.]
your welcome in advance!
