ホモテナシ

  • Also written 州浜
  • I've seen different recipes, but this seems to remain softer for longer and is easier to make:
    • 50 gr きな粉 (or also 鶯粉)
    • 100 gr powdered sugar
    • 60 gr 米飴
    • 10 gr water
  • Sieve flour and sugar, boil water and 飴, colour; then pour and knead.
  • Either roll out the dough to ~ 4' and stencil out; or shape by hand.
  • To shape the iconic わらび:
    • 12 gr ball
    • Shape into a pointy cone
    • Cut the cone so that one leg is longer than the other
    • Roll in the shorter one, then the longer one.
  • I think it's quite nice for the otherwise boring 花見団子.

Other recipes

  • 50 gr きな粉
  • 55 gr powdered sugar
  • 25 gr 求肥

Boil the latter 3 together, pour into the sieved flour and sugar. Then colour and knead.
