Zubereitung von Anko Manju
- Prepare the Anko Filling: Form 12 balls of sweet bean paste, each about 1-2 tablespoons in size.
- Make the Dough: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup (240ml) water, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon baking powder until the sugar dissolves.
- Gradually add 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, sifting the flour in slowly while gently stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic, resembling the texture of an earlobe.
- Divide the Dough: Divide the dough into 12 equal-sized pieces.
- Assemble the Manju: Wrap each piece of dough around a sweet bean paste ball, ensuring the filling is completely enclosed.
- Steam the Manju: Place the assembled Anko Manju in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper or a clean kitchen cloth. Lightly spray the manju with water for a smoother finish.
- Steam: Steam over high heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the manju are cooked through and fluffy.
