Recipe Ingredient
- 350g plain flour
- 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1/4 tsp Chinese five spice powder
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 50g castor sugar
- 2 shallots, blended finely
- 3½ tbsp oil
- 70-80ml or enough water
Instructions
- Sift flour, soda and five spice power into a mixing bowl. Add in salt, pepper and sugar. Mix in blended shallots and oil and add in just enough water to combine. Mix into a soft and pliable dough.
- Roll dough out into a flat rectangle then roll up into a spiral in between a piece of cling film wrap. Put the roll in the freezer. (this is done to harden the dough so that cutting it is easier.)
- Slice the roll thinly and deep-fry slices in hot oil over a moderate flame. Remove and drain the biscuits.
- Store cooled ear-like biscuits in airtight containers.
