Ingredients
- 45 g Rice flour, glutinous
- 35 g Water
- 20 g Coconut, fresh
- 15 g Sugar, brown
- 1 g Salt
Method
- Mix the grated coconut with the brown sugar and a pinch of the salt to make the sweet filling.
- Knead the glutinous rice flour with the water and the remaining salt into a smooth, soft dough.
- Pinch off pieces of dough, flatten into small discs, and spoon a little of the coconut filling into the centre of each; gather the edges up and pinch closed into a pyramid or teardrop shape.
