This is a recipe that I wanted to post & keep for a long time since Year 2015 but did not get it done. I had to learn to keep up with the speed of updating & keeping a record of the recipes in year 2016, wish me good luck.....

Having little snack will brighten up the days especially in the afternoon when one is tired & sleeping. Let's have some Muah Chee which is one of the popular snack among Singapore & Malaysia. I had being having this snack since young & never know it is so easy to be make at home. With the introducing of Happycall Pan, making Muah Chee no longer need to stress over burning the batter like in the past.

1 cup grounded peanuts

1 tbsp fine sugar

4. Coat the entire dough with peanut mixture.
5. Cut into smaller pieces while coating it with peanut mixture.
6. Serve in individual portions.
7. Add more peanut mixture.
8. Serve warm.

Notes:

1. I like my Muah Chee to be very soft & chewy so the portion for the dough is 1:1. If you like a firmer texture, reduce water to 3/4 : 1.
2. You can buy ready made grounded peanuts with sugar from supermarket but it comes without sesame seeds.
3. I like to premix my peanut mixture and store in an airtight container. Whenever I feel eating Muah Chee, I will make one portion Muah Chee using 1/4 cup flour & water.
4. If you coat the dough with peanut mixture every time before snipping, it will not stick onto your scissor and create a sticky mess.
