- In a small pot, boil water, icing sugar and corn oil and pour this hot liquid into the flour mixture, mix with spatula. Knead dough to smooth and sift in matcha powder and knead well again, wrap with clingwrap and let sit for 30 mins.
- Divide dough into 10 round balls, 23g each. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough between to two plastic sheets and wrap in the pumpkin filling. Gently press it into mould and stamp out.
