 Flaky Salted Egg Yolk Pies
yield 16 pies

Ingredients

Outer layer dough:
150g  all-purpose flour
  30g   icing sugar
  55g   lard or shortening 
  60g   water

Inner layer dough (flaky dough):
120g  cake flour
60g    lard or shortening

Filing:
8  salted egg yolks, divided
285g lotus seed paste (approximately)

Garnishing:
1 tablespoon toasted black sesame seeds
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons milk

 
Method :
1. Preheat the oven to 170'C 15 minutes before its ready for use.

2. Divide the lotus seed paste into 16equal portions. Roll the divided lotus seed paste into balls and set aside.

3. Divide the salted egg yolk into 2. Place the egg yolks on a baking sheet and spray with some cooking wine and bake at 120'C for 8 minutes.

4. Insert the half salted egg yolk into a lotus seed ball and roll into a ball again. The lotus seed ball with salted egg yolk will be 25g each. Repeat for the remaining 15 balls.

5. To make the outer layer dough : Mix the flour, shortening, icing sugar and water together. Knead the dough until pliable for about 10 minutes. Cover with a plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes.

6. To prepare the flaky dough : Gently mix the cake flour and shortening together.  Shape the flaky dough into a log. Divide the flaky dough into 16 equal portions. Roll the portion into balls. Repeat the same process for the outer layer dough after it has rested.

7. Place one of the outer layer dough ball on one of your palm and lightly press to make a dent. Place the flaky dough ball on the flatten outer layer dough. Bring the outer layer dough together to completely covered the flaky dough and re-roll into a ball. Repeat for the remaining balls.

8. Flatten the combined dough ball with your palm. Use a rolling pin to gently roll out the dough length wise. Use your palm to roll back the dough. Place the seam side up and rest for 10 minutes.

9. Use the rolling pin to roll out the dough length wise the second time. Use your palm to roll back the dough.Place the seam side up and rest for 10 minutes.

10. With the seam side up, use a thump to press down the seam while the thumb and the middle finger of another hand to pinch the dough together. This is to eliminate as much of seam as possible.

11. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a disc, with the outside thinner than the center part.

12. Place the lotus seed ball on the dough. While you use the thumb and the index finger to slowly gather the dough around the filling, use the thumb of another hand to lightly push in the filing. This way, you will get dough ball with minimum seam. Pinch the seam together and roll into a ball and place the seam side down. Repeat for the remaining balls.

13. Make an egg wash with 1 egg yolk and milk combined together. 

14. Place the dough balls onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush the egg wash onto the dough balls to give them a nice colour and shine.

15. Dip a finger into the remaining egg wash and then use the sticky finger to pick up some toasted sesame seeds and place them on the dough ball for garnishing. Bake in a preheated 170'C oven for 20 – 25 minutes or until golden brown.
