Muscovado Coated Fried Biscuits

These ‘Muscovado Coated Fried Biscuits’ are called ‘Karintō’ (かりんとう) in Japan. When I was a young child, it was my absolute favourite treat. I like the ones coated with Muscovado, but they can be coated with Brown Sugar. These biscuits are chunky where I grew up, but there are thinner types in other regions. Today I made them for the first time in many years. The biscuits made me nostalgic.

Ingredient

Food ration :

24 Pieces

1/2 cup

Self-Raising Flour

1 tablespoon

Caster Sugar

1 pinch

Salt

1 tablespoon

Water

1 tablespoon

Oil *I used Canola Oil

1/4 cup

Muscovado OR Dark Brown Sugar *firmly packed

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Combine Self-Raising Flour, Sugar and Salt in a bowl. Add Water and Oil, and knead to form a stiff dough. *Note: Add extra Flour if required.

* Step 2

Roll the dough into sticks. The easiest method is to divide the dough into 4 portions, roll each portion into s stick, and cut each stick into 6 pieces. Roll each piece into 8mm thick and about 5cm in length. You may wish to make the sticks thinner.

* Step 3

Deep-fry or shallow-fry in the Oil around 160℃ to 170℃, just like frying doughnuts, turning occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until nicely browned. Transfer the biscuits to a rack or paper towel.

* Step 4

Place a sheet of baking paper on a large plate or a baking tray.

* Step 5

Heat Muscovado (OR Dark Brown Sugar) and Water in a saucepan over a low heat, stirring. When Muscovado has melted and started making lots of bubbles, remove from heat. Add the biscuits and mix well to make all biscuits coated with Muscovado.
