MenS Pocky - flour

Method

• Pre-Heat Oven to 400 degrees Farenheit.
• Add dry ingredients and mix well.
• Add butter, half of the water and the Egg Yolk. Begin mixing. Drizzle on more water as needed to form a nice smooth dough.
• Break the dough into about two dozen small balls.
• Knead each ball slightly then roll with both hands to desired length and thinness. *Any cracks in the dough will make it break after cooking so keep working until it is nice and smooth. *Round ends look better than pointed ones and they have the added benefit of not burning while they are baking.
• Place on a greased baking sheet and put into your hotbox. Cook for 10 - 15 minutes, checking the bottom to make sure they don't burn.
• While the sticks are cooking, melt your chocolate either in a double boiler or using your microwave.
• Once the sticks are done, let them cool just enough to handle and dip in the chocolate leaving one end free of chocolate.
• If you chose to use the crushed nuts, you will want to roll the pocky in the crushed nuts before the chocolate cools.
• Lay these out on parchment paper to cool.
• Enjoy!
