1. Take the chestnut meat, add a small amount of water in a pressure cooker and cook until it is soft; use a food processor to make it into a paste

2. Put a little oil at the bottom of the pan, pour in the chestnut paste and fry until dry, until it can be kneaded into a ball.

3. Butter dough: Mix 100g flour and 50g special blending oil into butter dough and relax for about 20 minutes;

4. Puff pastry: 250g flour, 60g lard, 35g sugar, about 100ml boiling water, mix into puff pastry, and relax for about 20 minutes;

5. Roll the puff pastry into a sheet, put the butter ball on the puff pastry and wrap it up; flatten the butter and puff pastry wrapped together, roll it into a large sheet, fold it into three, roll it into a large rectangular sheet, fold it into three more, and finally roll it into a thin rectangular sheet. Roll up one long side of the rolled dough into a long cylinder and prepare to cut it into small portions. To make chestnut cakes, roll up the dough from one long side into a long cylinder and cut into small portions; flatten the small portions and roll them into round pieces that are thick in the middle and thin around the edges, wrap them with chestnut filling, seal the top downwards, and press into a flat round shape. Insert into cookie cutters to press out shapes.

6. Roll the chestnut cake in white sesame seeds, press it firmly, brush the surface with water, bake at 180 degrees for 20 minutes, turn it over and bake for another 20 minutes. OK~~

7. You can freely mix and match the flavors

The reason why many people are reluctant to cook is that they think cooking involves too many steps and is too troublesome. The method of making chestnut shortbread is simple and can dispel their concerns.
