CHOCOLATE CRINKLES

Whenever we pass by some bakeries, chocolate crinkles are the first thing I look for. Different bakeries have different versions of crinkles but no chocolate crinkle had ever failed me. Crinkles have a special place in my heart. This pastry reminds me of my childhood playmates whom I mostly share my crinkles with. Whenever they visit me, my mom would always run to the bakery to buy some. It is not just my favorite, but it is everybody’s favorite.

The word crinkle means “small creases or wrinkles”. This may be the reason how crinkles got its name. Crinkles are like small cookies that had just cracked. You can easily see these cracks since they are coated with sweet powder. These are the best features of the crinkles which makes them easily recognizable when placed with a lot of other pasty products.

The classic crinkles we know are the chocolate ones. Now, crinkles are becoming more and more trendy. New flavors like red velvet, ube, and strawberry were the most famous. Most of them come in fancy boxes unlike the classic ones which are being sold at bakeries.

If you’re craving for crinkles and got nowhere to buy, Yummy Kitchen got your back! Here is a recipe of the classic chocolate crinkles which will bring you back to your childhood.

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE CRINKLES

Making a chocolate crinkle is just like making a cookie. Start by making a batter. Simply mix all ingredients. It will be a little lumpy from the start but once you added the eggs, it will gradually become a smooth and thick batter. Chill the batter before making it into balls. This will help the ingredients in the batter set, resulting to a moist and chewy crinkles.

Make the crinkle batter into balls. Unlike cookies which are directly baked after this step, the crinkle balls are rolled in a powder mixture made with combining powdered sugar and cornstarch. After coating, it’s baking time! Make sure to allot spaces in between the crinkles balls. They will expand during the baking process. The actual making of the crinkles will only take you a few minutes. What made it seem long are the chilling and baking time.

In this blog, we will present two ways on how to bake the chocolate crinkles. If oven is available, bake the crinkles for 12 to 15 minutes using 170C. If oven is not available, don’t worry! You can use a deep pan at home to imitate the hot environment of the oven. Preheat your pan, place a wire rack and put your baking dish. In this way, the chocolate crinkles will be cooked indirectly with the heat from the stove. If the pan-baking is used, cook the crinkles for a much longer period, 15 to 18 minutes using very low heat.

I have tried using both methods in making some chocolate crinkles. When I used the pan-baking method, the powdered sugar melts during the cooking process. I coated them again with some powder before serving. What I also noticed is that crinkles made using the oven were much more fudgy, moist and chewy compared to the ones made using the pan-baking method.

Whatever method you use, both results taste the same. Both crinkles made me tear up a little as I reminisce my childhood. Make sure to enjoy the chocolate crinkles with some hot milk! Share some with your friends and family.
