When I make "Manjyu (Japanese traditional sweet)", I prefer a dough from rice flour and Yam potato to one from plain flour. It's softer and moister. But these ingredients aren't popular out of Japan. It's also little difficult to wrap a bean jam ball with the dough from plain flour (It's better to make it thin because it not so soft or moist). So, I try to think something different. Putting a bean jam ball between 2 small pancakes in stead of wrapping, it is much easier! And I try to use yoghurt and honey to make plain flour buns softer and moister without any oil, butter, eggs....
