Ingredients

Inside Wrap:
440 grams cake flour
170 grams vegetable shortening

Outer Wrap:
150 grams white flour
150 grams cake flour
100 grams vegetable shortening
60 grams white sugar
140 grams water

Filling:
1 can red bean paste
1/2 cup walnuts

Coating:
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Directions
  1. Combine the ingredients for the outer wrap and the inner wrap separately. Knead each mixture well.

  2. Cover the outer wrap with saran wrap and put it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to settle.

  3. Divide each pile of dough into 30 balls, each a little smaller than a golf ball.

  4. To make one cake, flatten a ball of outer wrap until it is palm-sized. Wrap it around a ball of inner wrap.

  5. Use a rolling pin to flatten the entire ball--this makes 3 layers.

  6. Roll up the dough again, as you would a dollar bill.

  7. Flatten the dough again--this makes 27 layers.

  8. Repeat--this makes 81 layers.

  9. Scoop one tablespoon of red bean paste into the middle of each dough pancake and sprinkle walnut bits onto the filling.

  10. Wrap up the entire mixture.

  11. Dab an egg yolk wash on the cake.

  12. Sprinkle on some sesame seeds.

  13. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and cook the desserts for 16-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
