I learned how to make this from the preschool that my little one attends.

When I rolled one dumpling in plain kinako and the other in green soy kinako (uguisu kinako), it will was even more charming. Even though they are small, one skewer is quite satisfying. When adding the starch syrup to the dry ingredients, pay attention to the firmness, and take time to reach the correct firmness. If you add it all at once, it will get all pasty, and it won't work (I know, since I made that mistake already...)! For a heaping mound. Recipe by chikappe

Steps

1

Sift the kinako and sugar together. Dissolve the starch syrup in water, add a little at a time until it reaches an even consistency.
2

Add the dissolved starch syrup to the kinako mixture, a little at a time, and knead it into a soft dough a bit firmer than your ear lobe. If it's a little too firm even after adding all of the starch syrup, mix in a small amount of water, a little at a time.
3

Roll the dough into 1.5 cm balls, then coat in granulated sugar. Skewer two dumplings each on toothpicks, then serve. It's like a Japanese confectionery to go with a cup of matcha or green tea.

After making Yatsuhachi, when I used the cinnamon blended with kinako to make dumplings, they came out fragrant and tasty. The ratio of kinako to cinnamon is 6:1 (or 30 g kinako to 5 g cinnamon).
