-For 15 pieces tea-sized skewers:+====団子====
  
 +   * They have a long history. In ancient China they were called 「団喜」.
 +   * Types:
 +         * For tea, the 花見団子 and the 月見団子 are most important. The colours of the 花見団子 could represent a cherry blossom viewing party: Sitting on the green grass, breathing the the fresh (= white) air under the pink blossoms.
 +         * For summer festivals, the みたらし団子 is very famous.
 +          まゆ団子 (//cocoon type//), usually made on the 14.1 at home. They can be pierced onto a willow (or similar), representing a prayer for good (silk or rice) harvest.
 +         * There are also some for 二十日・鬼の目・草・彼岸 (for the equinoxes)・八朔 (on August 1<sup>st</sup>), but they all look the same (I think).
 +   * Normally, they are quite big (about 20 gr per ball), so it's almost a meal. However, for the tea setting, I think it's better if they are about 10 gr per ball.
 +   *It's always 4 balls, unless it's the 花見団子
 +
 +===Basics===
 +   * The basic formula is
 +         * 100 gr 上新粉
 +         * 80 gr luke-warm water
 +         * Add more water as needed to make a firm dough
 +     * Steam for 20' in ripped pieces on a cloth
 +     * Knead in the cloth. This is where you could add about 70 gr sugar in thirds, or not; and colouring.
 +     * Put into cold water for 60 seconds, then dry off.
 +     * Form balls, skewer and steam again for 2'.
 +     * Before the second steaming, they can be frozen.
 +     * For my 団子-maker, 25 gr is a good amount to make four even balls.
 +
 +===みたらし団子===
 +   * A bit difficult to serve in a tea setting elegantly, but you could serve the たれ separatedly as a "dip".
 +   * Because the たれ is so sweet, there's no need to sweeten the dough itself, I think.
 +   * For the たれ:
 +         * 7.5 gr 昆布 in 300 gr water. Infuse.
 +         * Dissolve into this 昆布だし 200 gr sugar, 15 gr 水飴.
 +         * Add 50 ml of thick 醤油
 +         * Add a mix of 25 gr 葛粉 and 50 ml water
 +         * Cook until thickened.
 +   * Grill 団子 and dip!

 +===花見団子===
 +⚠️ This is an old recipe that I took from Argyi. In my [[restricted:kashi|course notes]] I have a new recipe that is simpler and that I'd use next time. Adding soy milk is a nice idea, I guess.
 +
 +Pink and green dough (15 pieces each):
    * 82 gr 上新粉    * 82 gr 上新粉
    * 19 gr もち粉    * 19 gr もち粉

    * 76 gr sugar    * 76 gr sugar
    * 100 gr water    * 100 gr water
 +   * Mix, steam in cloth for 15', knead in baking sheet. Divide, then mix in rinsed chopped 塩桜 in one half and blanched 蓬 in the other. Form balls, wetting your hands slightly, steam those again for 5'.
  
-//and//+White dough (idea with the soy milk from Argyi):
    * 6 gr 白玉粉    * 6 gr 白玉粉
    * 57 gr 上新粉    * 57 gr 上新粉
