Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter (57g)
- 29 oz. pumpkin puree 820g, divided: 2 cups + 1 1/2 cups, canned
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (70g)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 1/2 cups glutinous rice flour 375g, aka sweet rice flour/糯米粉
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 cup caster sugar (115g)
- 15 clove whole
Instructions
- Start by making the filling. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cups pumpkin puree, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir often and cook until the mixture darkens and comes together into a thick paste. This process will take about 30 minutes. Cool completely.
- Then you can make the dough. While the filling cools, sift together the sweet rice flour, cornstarch, and caster sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree and mix to form a smooth dough. The dough should be pliable. If it cracks when handling, it is too dry. Add a couple drops of water. If the dough is too wet, add more sweet rice flour.
- Divide the dough into 15 equal pieces and roll them into balls. Cover with a damp paper towel. Once the filling is cooled, also divide it into 15 equal pieces and roll individually into balls.
- To assemble, rub a couple drops of water into your palms to make the dough easier to handle. Take a dough ball, flatten it into a 3” circle, and add a ball of filling in the middle. Close the dough over the filling and roll into a smooth ball. Press the ball down lightly so it's shaped almost like a flat pumpkin. Then use a toothpick to press a pattern of outer lines into your pumpkin shape. Top with a clove as your pumpkin's "stem."
- Prepare your steamer with cold water and line the rack with cheese cloth. Place the mini pumpkins on the steamer rack 2 inches apart. Start with cold water and steam for 10-12 minutes using high heat. The cooked pumpkins should look somewhat translucent.
