Butsi

Ingredients:

3 cups Glutinous Rice Flour
1/2 cup Rice Flour
1 cup Sugar
1 1/2 cup water
1-2 cup Sesame Seeds
Cooking Oil for deep frying
1 cup red bean filling

Cooking Procedure:

1. Mix together the glutinous rice flour, rice flour, sugar and water to make a dough.
2. Portion the galapong into even small ball sizes.
3. Dent the center a ball using your thumb and scoop a teaspoon of the red bean filling.
4. Collect all the sides and seal the ball, making sure no filling is coming out.
5. Finish filling all the balls, then prepare 2 separate cups, one with water and the other with sesame seeds.
6. Dip each piece in water, then roll on sesame seeds.
7. Heat up the oil and deep-fry on medium heat, stirring continuously. Lightly and carefully press down the ball against the side of the pan if it swells too big.
8. Continue cooking up until the seeds are golden brown.


Tips:

•Cover the galapong balls with a damp towel while handling them so they don't dry out.
•If the galapong dries out a bit, sprinkle water to moisten the dough.
•Make sure you fry on medium low to medium heat so the inside gets cooked thoroughly.
•Use a small ice cream scooper for uniform portioning of the dough. It's faster, more convenient and you get even-sized balls.
