I had some sourdough discard leftover from a recent feed and wanted to find a way to utilize them in a recipe that was easy and quick. Typically most Min Jiang Kueh recipes call for yeast but I didn’t have any on hand that day and just went ahead without it. I didn’t think it impacted the texture much and overall the family enjoyed it — it was a great way to use up the sourdough discard without wastage!
I threw together crushed peanuts and sugar in a 1:1 ratio for the filling, but any other spreads like peanut butter or Nutella would work as well.
