Ingredients For sesame bean paste balls

  • 1 can
    10 count )flaky small biscuits,separated into 20
  • 1/4 c
    grape jam
  • 1 can
    (16 oz) refried black beans
  • 3 tsp
    sesame oil, divided
  • 1/4 c
    sesame seeds

How To Make sesame bean paste balls

  • 1
    In a medium microwave safe bowl,mix the jam with black beans.
  • 2
    Add 1 tsp sesame oil mix thorougly. Cover and cook on high in microwave to thicken into a paste , about 6 minutes stirring once. Place on a flat pan and place in fridge to cool.
  • 3
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 4
    Divide flaky biscuits into 20 circles. Use your thumb to make a deep indentation in the dough and then the thumb and index fingers of both hands to form the dough into a cup.
  • 5
    Roll 1 level teaspoon of sweet bean paste into a ball. Place the bean paste in the hole, and shape the dough over the top to seal.
  • 6
    Roll with your hands into ball. It is important to make sure the bean paste is completely covered with dough. Continue with the remainder of the dough.
  • 7
    Rub the sesame balls with a little sesame oil (this will help the sesame seeds stick to the ball). Place sesame seeds on a flat plate. Roll the balls over the sesame seeds. Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
  • 8
    Place 1 " apart on a large baking sheet and bake in 350 degree oven for 9-12 minutes until golden.
  • 9
    Serve warm. If preparing ahead, refrigerate and then re-heat the balls until they are warm.
