Authentic Kanto-Style Sakura Mochi - Just Mix and Cook

• 100 grams Cake flour
• 25 grams Shiratamako
• 30 grams Sugar
• 1 Red food coloring
• 250 ml Water
• 300 grams Red bean (puree or paste)
• 15 Pickled sakura leaves (remove salt)

1. Sift the ingredients into a bowl, add water, and whisk together.
2. Add red food coloring in small increments to Step 1 to lightly color (the color can darken much quicker than you expect).
3. If you have time, cover Step 2 with cling wrap and let stand for 20-30 minutes (you can skip this if necessary).
4. While the flour is resting, form the red bean paste into 15 balls.
5. Heat a (Teflon) frying pan for crepes on medium.
6. After the dough is warmed, remove from heat, spread into ovals, and return to heat.
7. When the dough is semi-transparent, flip it over.
8. When both sides are cooked, spread on a cutting board so they don't overlap (to prevent drying out, cover with a dish towel).
9. Wrap the red bean in the dough from Step 5, wrap with a sakura leaf, and enjoy!
