How to Make Homemade Pocky

Pocky (ポッキー) is a popular Japanese biscuit shaped like a long stick and dipped in chocolate or other sweet sauces, which make it taste simply delicious. It comes in many different flavours such as chocolate, strawberry, green tea, cookies and cream, and many more. Unfortunately, Pocky can be hard to find (and quite expensive). This Pocky recipe will provide you with your own delicious Pocky for less money and all the flavours you can imagine!

Ingredients

1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoon water
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoon sugar
pinch of salt
1/4 cup room temperature butter
The dipping flavour of your choice:
- melted milk chocolate
- melted Oreo cookie cream fillings
- melted peanut butter
- melted white chocolate
- melted strawberry chocolate

Steps

1
Combine the water and condensed milk together and set aside.
2
Pour in flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in an electric mixer. Put your mixer on low speed and blend the ingredients.
3
Dump butter inside the electric mixer. Let the machine stir everything for 5 minutes.
4
Pour in the condensed milk and water mixture. Allow the mixer to mix it up; it should be dough like when done.
5
Place dough on large sheet of plastic. Shape the pocky into a 1 inch disc like shape. Wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
6
Preheat oven to 300 F (150C). Slice the pocky disc into 8 pieces; each piece makes 2 Pocky sticks. Roll out the Pocky dough into cylinders.
7
Place Pocky on oiled pan. Grab a pan and grease it with some cooking spray, butter or any oil you have.
8
Bake the Pocky sticks for 18-20 minutes. Pull out your Pocky when done; they should be golden brown.
9
Melt your Pocky cream in the microwave. Choose one of the dips in the dipping options, or you can pick a different one if you don't like them.
10
Microwave your Pocky cream option for intervals of 30 seconds until completely melted.
11
Dip your pocky in the melted sauce. Shake off the extra sauce and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until the sauce hardens.
12
Munch on your Pocky. Try one of your Pocky sticks and see how it turned out!

Question

Does the dough absolutely have to be refrigerated for 30 minutes? My teacher says I can only have it in the refrigerator for ten minutes at most.

If your class has a freezer, try chilling it for 8-10 minutes. Just make sure it doesn't freeze.
