How To Make Korean Tea Cookies (Dasik)
Pair your cup of tea with these traditional Korean cookies. They are delicately flavored with sesame seeds, rice syrup, and honey.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sesame seeds, roasted, (110 g / 4 oz) or 1/2 cup sesame seed powder (white or black sesame seeds)
- 1⁄8 tsp. sea salt, or more to taste
For Honey Syrup:
- 1⁄2 cup rice syrup, (조청 jocheong)
- 3⁄4 cup honey
- 1⁄2 cup sugar, (7 oz / 100 g)
- 2 tbsp. water
Instructions
-
If your sesame seeds are not roasted, roast sesame seeds in pan for 3 to 5 minutes on medium heat. Stirring often so they don’t burn.
-
Melt sugar and water in a pot on medium heat. Once sugar is all melted, add honey and rice syrup.
-
Raise heat to medium high and stir often and bring to boil. Turn off heat and let it cool. Do not over cook.
-
Finely grind sesame seeds in a blender.
-
In a bowl, add the sesame seed powder and sprinkle sea salt on top.
-
Add 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon of the honey syrup to half a cup sesame seed powder and mix well. It should become pretty lumpy and hold shape. Similar to play-doh consistency.
-
Take a little bit of the dough and roll into a ball. Raise the mold by inserting the bar so the dough can be pressed into the mold.
- Press the ball into each mold and make sure it is filled to the top to be flush with the frame.
- Once the molds are filled, take out the spacer and push the upper frame down.
-
The cookies will now stick out (protrude) from the mold and can be gently removed.
