Green bean powder (also called hoon kueh flour) is a nutrient rich flavored powder typically used to make pastries such as steamed buns and mooncakes and cold drinks such as milk teas, slushies, and smoothies; available at Asian markets, some healthfood stores, and online. Ingredients:
6 tablespoons green bean powder |
3/4 cup flour |
5 1/2 tablespoons almond flour (almond powder) |
1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick) |
4 1/2 tablespoons sugar or 4 1/2 tablespoons splenda sugar substitute |
1/2 tablespoon light corn syrup |
3 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth or chunky) or 3 tablespoons your favorite nut butter |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, whisk green bean powder, regular flour, and almond flour; set aside. 2. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. 3. Add corn syrup, and beat well. 4. Add peanut butter, and beat well. 5. Preheat oven to 350°F. 6. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture. 7. Dust hands lightly with flour so dough won't stick to your hands; roll dough lightly into 1-inch to 1 1/2-inch balls. 8. Place on a non-stick cookie sheet. 9. With a fork dipped in flour, flatten each ball crisscross style. 10. Bake until lightly browned (15-17 minutes). 11. Remove from baking sheet and let cool completely on racks. 12. Store in a airtight container. |
