Chinese New Year is one week away and for the past week, I have been busy making all the Chinese New Year cookies, munchies and snacks for the celebration.
Other than that, I have been crazy shopping for new clothes for little G (it’s a tradition that we wear new attire on the first day of Chinese New Year!), plus crazy spring cleaning the entire house.
These crispy, addictive and delicious peanut puffs are one of the popular Chinese New Year munchies. Loaded with sweet ground peanut, wrapped up in a pastry dough and deep-fried to golden perfection, they are quite a treat. Once you have one, you just can’t stop. Try this recipe this year, and I am sure your family and guests will love you just so much more!

Hi Bee Yinn, your recent peanut puff looks nice, Will it be nice if bake it in the oven instead of deep fry ?

Hi Bee Yinn thank you for your peanut puff recipes. When I was a litter girl my mom used to made them during the Chinese new year time .
Rasa Malaysia
That’s great to know. Nostalgic food.

Hi Bee Yinn, I can’t get cake flour here – can it be substitute with plain flour? Or would that make it less puffy & crispy? Please advise. Thanks.

Hi, Bee Yin,
Can I use ready made crust dough, like Pillsbury’s, instead?
Rasa Malaysia
I am not sure I haven’t tried. Should be OK but I can’t guarantee results.

You didn’t put the amount of water required if any. When I mixed the dough ingredients i just got a dry mixture

I just weighed the peanuts and it’s only a smidget. Is there a possibility that is the right amount? Thank you.

You don’t need water, just follow the pastry ingredients and method.

Hi, if the peanut puffs are not crispy, can I crisp them in the oven?
Rasa Malaysia
I don’t think so, you have to deep fry them.
