Pinoy Mazapan de Mani

Ingredients

• 2 cups ground peanut
• 3/4 cups white sugar
• 6 egg yolks
• 1/2 cups butter
• Sweet pili nuts for toppings

Instructions

1. In a food processor, grind the peanuts until finely ground.
2. Combine the egg yolks, sugar, butter and ground peanuts.
3. Place the mixture in a pan and cook in medium heat.
4. Stir occasionally until the texture of the mixture becomes really thick.
5. Scoop the mixture on a polvoron molder and arrange on a greased baking sheet.
6. Top it with sweetened pili nuts and brush each piece with egg yolk.
7. Place in an oven that's 375 °F preheated and bake until golden brown

Notes

• While grinding peanuts, the sides of the bowl needs to be scraped occasionally. The peanuts will release their oil and a compact paste will be formed. The paste is ready when you press between your fingers and it stays compact.
• Shape mazapan on your palm into cylindrical or heart shape and flatten into 1/2 inch polvoron shape. In this process the oil on the mixture helps to not to stick on your hands.
