These traditional Chinese New Year snacks are known as Yau Gok, Jau Gok, or Fried Peanut Puffs, are known mainly in the Hong Kong area. Representing wealth and luck, wrapped up in a small golden pocket.

Crust Ingredients:

200g all purpose flour
10g custard powder 
30g vegetable oil
50g butter
12g white sugar
1 egg
5 tbs water

Filling Ingredients:

100g roasted peanuts (without salt)
30g shredded coconut
80g white sugar
20g roasted sesame

Crust Method:

1. Sift flour and custard powder together. Add sugar, butter, vegetable oil, egg and mix well.

2. Add water slowly while mixing the dough and form into a ball once ready. Use a plastic wrap to cover container and set aside for about 1 hour.

Filling Method:

1. Use a food processor to help crush up the peanuts. Remove from processor, add sesame, shredded coconuts, and white sugar. Mix well.

Method:

1. Add a bit of flour to the work surface to prevent sticking. Roll the dough out into a thin layer, about 3-4 mm thick, and cut them into circle shapes. Add about a spoonful of peanut filling into the middle of each circle and wrap into a half moon shape and lock tightly.  

2. Heat up the oil and fry the treats in medium heat. Fry until golden brown. Once done, let cool before serving.

Notes:

• When wrapping the pockets, make sure the filling does not get locked at the rim. If there’s filling at the rim, the pockets will open up during frying.

• Make sure the peanut filling does not get onto the outside of the pockets. If so, the sugar from the filling will get burnt during frying.
