Red Bean Treats



Red bean paste is traditionally used in many Chinese desserts. It is usually very sweet and appealing to many people. This recipe is pretty un-traditional and something that my mom decided to make one day. It's very simple to put together. I wanted to post this to show off her hand crimping skills. I've tried many many times and yet still cannot produce these beautiful results.

1 12 oz can of red bean paste (found in all asian grocery stores)
1 package ready use pie crust

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to package directions
2. Unfold pie crust and cut circles with a drinking glass
3. Put about 2 tsp of red bean paste in the middle and crimp the edges
4. Bake until golden brown on top
