Chinese Walnut Cookie Recipe (合桃酥) with Papa Fung

[@orangedoughnut4111]

The best recipe I found so far! Thanks to mr fung! I've tried some recipe with only butter or lard, but they won't sattisfy my taste. This recipe combine both and I fall in love in first bite! ❤️ Everyone in my family is craving for this cookie till nothing left in my cannister. P. S. Its hard to find ready to use lard here, so I rendered my own.

[@PapaFungsKitchen]

Soo glad you and your family enjoyed the cookies!

Hello Papa Fung, can i substitute Park fat with shortening or Ghee?

[@ellytan6333]

Or butter , oil?

[@PapaFungsKitchen]

Shortening may work. Don’t use butter, since it will make it taste weird

[@redoxhealth1152]

can i use all butter instead.. no lard

[@PapaFungsKitchen]

Hello, you can, but it won’t taste the same. The butter may overtake the walnut flavour and the texture will be different

[@redoxhealth1152]

thanks

[@Sarah-zi5yt]

Can I substitute pork fat with something else that gives off the same taste? I don't have lard either

[@PapaFungsKitchen]

Maybe shortening? It won’t be exactly the same taste, since pork fat I used was just trimmed fat from pork belly

[@jocelyn3388]

Can I keep the dough in the fridge for a few more days before baking?

[@PapaFungsKitchen]

I never tried that before. I think you should at least put it in the freezer instead of fridge to be safer

[@esty5381]

Papa Fung can i use butter instead lard or pork fat?

[@PapaFungsKitchen]

No, this recipe you can’t use butter, it will taste weird. Must be a type of lard or if all fails, a vegetable shortening might work

[@chaka3084]

Would I be able to make this a "savory" cookie by adding chopped char siu to it? I've eaten it in SF Chinatown, but don't recall what it was called.

[@PapaFungsKitchen]

I’ve never had it with char siu. Do you mean preserved meat? Some have preserved meat in there that are thin slices and white in colour.

Can we use cake flour instead of pastry flour? Is this walnut cookies too sweet! Can’t eat too sweet can I cut down the sugar?

[@PapaFungsKitchen]

Hello, cake flour and pastry flour are the same. As for sugar, you can adjust to your liking. Thank you.

[@FongLaiSung]

@@PapaFungsKitchen thank you so much papa fung! Will you post more new videos! I love you cooking and baking!

[@PigeonEllison]

Papa Fung, what if I dont have pork fat to use? Is there any thing you can substitute that with? If so, how much should I use?

[@PapaFungsKitchen]

You can use lard, you can usually find that at your grocery store. Use the same amount.

[@jocelyn3388]

Can we use the stand mixer to mix the ingredients?

[@PapaFungsKitchen]

I've personally never used a stand mixer for this recipe, so always done it by hand. Sorry, I don't know if using a stand mixer may change the texture of it.

[@jocelyn3388]

I tried using the mixer today. I mixed the butter and lard with sugar, salt and egg first, then add the flour mix and walnut. It's super easy and it only takes a minute or so. Just wish to share this with everyone.

[@mandylee5610]

Hi, can I skip the porkfat?

[@suziedepingu]

I think Papa Fung would recommend you to use, it gives that richness like moisturizer to the cookie IMHO 😅

[@PapaFungsKitchen]

Agreed. Pork fat is the soul of it all, other than the walnuts.

唔用豬油真係唔鬆

[@PapaFungsKitchen]

豬油的作用不容忽視
