chestnuts and blacks beans biscuits (Bimby)

For this recipe you have to use a blender. I used Bimby. Take note that my Bimby is quite “dated”, I had it in my house since 1988!

Ingredients:

• 130 grams of boiled and peeled chestnuts;
• 100 grams of boiled  black beans;
• 20 grams of corn starch;
• 50 grams of brown sugar;
• 40 g of soybean oil;
• 1/2 tsp ammonia for cakes;

Let’s knead!

1. put in the chestnuts and black beans in the blender and blend for 3 or 4 minutes at maximum speed (for my Bimby speed 12);
2. add corn starch, sugar and ammonia, and blend for 1 minute at high speed (always 12 for Bimby);
3. last add oil and blend for 2 minutes at high speed;
4. put the dough by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper;
5. bake at 180 ° for 20 – 25 minutes,

How to cook  blacks beans: the best thing is to soak them in water over the night, rinse and boil them in a pot, covered by 2 or 3 cm of water, for about an hour or two, over low heat. Take note: if you use them for making my exact recipe, don’t salt them, if you want a salty version, add salt only at the end of cooking.
