Ingredients

  • 100 g glutinous rice flour
  • 25 g sugar
  • 30 g sweet potato starch
  • 7 g purple sweet potato powder
  • 180 ml 2% milk
  • 20 g butter

Filling

  • 50 g taro cream
  • 100 g whipping cream
  • 35 g sugar

Instructions

  • Mix glutinous rice flour, potato starch, sugar together. Add the milk and mix. Make sure there are no lumps, strain through a strainer into a heat safe bowl.
  • Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and puncture some holes to let the steam out
  • Steam the mixture for 30 minutes. The mixture should be firm and dough like.
  • Take it off the steamer and put in the butter, set aside
  • Whip the whipping/heavy cream with sugar until it's stiff peak. Place into a piping bag, set in fridge for use later.
  • Place the taro cream into a piping bag as well. If it is taken out of the fridge, place into the microwave for 20s or set it in warm water.
  • Once the mixture is cooled enough that you can handle it, knead the dough with the butter
  • Once the butter is all mixed in, transfer onto the counter with some potato starch and continue kneading.
  • Once it doesn't stick to your hand, roll into a long sausage. Cut into 6 roughly equal pieces
  • Roll each pieces into a round disc and place into a small bowl with some potato starch to prevent sticking.
  • Add in whipping cream on the bottom
  • Add a bit of the taro cream.
  • Add more whipping cream and seal it off the top by folding in the dough.
  • Cut off the top knot and flip it into a cupcake liner. Serve it right away or you can store in the fridge. Best to eat it within 2 days.
