CNY 2015 - Sunflower Melon Seed Crisps


I baked Kuih Bangkit and remembered that Soke Hah had a recipe where I could use up some of the remaining egg whites. Found this recipe of hers to make this crispy biscuit.
Sorry Soke Hah, I have to replace pumpkin seeds with melon seeds cos' I have these available and not thinking of buying too much baking ingredients until I have finished using up those that I have in hand.
Easy and quick to prepare and bake. The difficult part is just the spreading of the batter before baking. Otherwise, the mixing and baking is easy and quick.

Recipe for Pumpkin Sunflower Crisps [here]
Ingredients
[makes about 50-60 crisps]
2 egg whites about 60 gm - lightly beaten
80 gm caster sugar
2 tbsp or 1 oz melted butter
50 gm plain flour
75 gm pumpkin kernels [I used melon seeds]
75 gm sunflower seeds
1/4 tsp vanilla

  1. Sift flour into a mixing bowl, add in sugar, mix well.  Add in the seeds.
  2. Make a well in the centre, add in the melted butter, lightly beaten egg whites and vanilla. Mix till well combined.
  3. Leave batter to rest for 30 minutes.
  4. Drop 1 level tsp of batter onto a parchment lined baking tray. Using the back of the spoon spread thinly to any shape taking care not to overlap the seeds.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 degrees C for 8 to 10 minutes on middle rack [taking care not to over-bake].
  6. Let cool in tray for a while before transferring onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Store crisps in an air-tight cookie jar.

  4. Hi Phong Hong, these are rather addictive and a good snack while watching TV. From this recipe, I managed to make only a bottle with some leftovers. The leftovers were finished quickly. I gave away the other bottle to my Dad's cardiologist cos' I can't eat too much of this due to sensitive teeth. Next year, I will make more to share.
