- Now clean your dry working surface and knead by hand about 10 minutes.
- Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
- After that, punch the dough down and make 15 round lemon-sized balls.
- Now take each ball and roll out with a rolling pin until you get a disk (3-inch diameter and 1/4 inch thick).
- To make the coconut filling, in a thick-bottomed pan, put coconut pani, cinnamon and sugar and bring to a boil (you need it to be around 100 degrees C degrees so use a thermometer).
- Then add the pani mixture to the desiccated coconut and mix well.
- Let cool.
- Now place about 1 tablespoon of sweet coconut mixture in the middle of each disk.
- Next shape the dough into a ball shape.
- Set aside about five minutes.
- Using sharp scissors, snip the round edges of the dough off to form petals to shape it like a flower (see photo).
- Now put the flower on top of oiled parchment paper or baking paper.
- Place flower buns in a steamer and steam over a pan of boiling water for about 10 minutes.
- When the flower buns are cooked, remove from the steamer and place on a dish.
- After that, you can decorate the flower buns.
- Just place chocolate candy in the center of flower buns.
- Ive done this in the photo above.
- Serve warm.
- Enjoy.
