The sesame crisps are fragrant and crunchy biscuits, prepared with only egg whites. They are often found in delis and shops here in Shanghai and after some research I found the perfect recipe to prepare them at home!
| 5 egg whites (about 180g) | |
| 60 g powdered sugar | |
| 100 g sunflower seeds oil | |
| 45 g all purpose flour | |
| 200 g raw sesame seeds |
| 1. | Whisk the egg whites with a hand whisk until they start making bubbles. They do not need to be whipped, we just need to break the filaments. Add the powdered sugar and mix well to dissolve it. |
| 2. | Now add the oil and the flour and mix well paying attention not to leave lumps. Finally mix the sesame seeds. Let the dough rest at room temperature for about twenty minutes. |
| 3. | Heat the oven to 180 ° C and line the pan with parchment paper. Put the dough of the biscuits in a pastry bag without a spout, cut away a corner and form many circles on the baking pan with a diameter of 4-5 cm, leaving them a little spaced. Cook for about 15-18 minutes, until golden. Allow to cool and serve. Keep tightly closed in a tin box. |
