Steps

1

Divide the filling into 7 portions and roll each into a ball. Refrigerate until ready to use.
2

Mix the dough ingredients until smooth. You can use a mixer and pasta roller, or knead by hand by repeatedly rolling out and folding the dough until the center is fine and smooth when cut.
3

Divide the dough into 7 portions.
4

Roll each portion into a round shape with a thicker center and thinner edges. Place a portion of filling in the center.
5

Shape each bun into a teardrop.
6

Pinch the tip to form a point.
7

Starting about 3/4 inch (2 cm) from the tip, use scissors held at a 30-degree angle to snip the 'spines' of the hedgehog. (Your hands may get tired from all the snipping!)
8

Attach the sesame seeds for eyes and press them in gently.
9

Let the buns rise at 100°F (38°C) for 40 minutes.
10

Steam over boiling water for 17 minutes, then let sit with the lid on for 3 more minutes.
