Instructions
 

Prepare the Pumpkin Puree:

  • To work with fresh pumpkin, start by peeling off the skin, removing the seeds, and cutting it into small pieces. This preparation method ensures easier mashing and quicker steaming compared to using larger or whole pieces.
  • Next, steam approximately 200 grams of pumpkin until it becomes soft, which typically takes around 15 minutes. Once the pumpkin is tender, mash it into a smooth puree. This puree will serve as the flavorful base for your recipe, adding a natural sweetness and vibrant color to your dish.
  • Add 20 grams of sugar to the pumpkin puree and mix well until the sugar is fully incorporated. This will enhance the natural sweetness of the pumpkin and add a delightful flavor to the pancakes.

Prepare the Dough:

  • In a mixing bowl, place 180 grams of glutinous rice flour. Pour the pumpkin puree into the flour and knead the mixture together until you have a smooth dough. This dough will form the base of your pancakes and give them their soft and sticky texture.

Shape the Pancakes:

  • Take a small piece of the dough (about 50g) and roll it into a small ball between your palms. If desired, coat the ball with white sesame seeds for an extra crunch and flavor. If the sesame seeds don't stick easily, you can dip the ball into water before coating it.

Flatten and Cook:

  • Once coated, flatten the ball into a small round cake. Heat a greased pan over low heat and place the pancakes in the pan. Cook them slowly until both sides are golden brown and cooked through. This gentle cooking process ensures that the pancakes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
