Lotus Seed Paste Pillows: A Delicious Chinese Dessert
Lotus Seed Paste Pillows are a traditional Chinese dessert that is loved by many. These sweet and savory treats are made with lotus seed paste, which is a popular ingredient in Chinese cuisine. The lotus seed paste is wrapped in a soft and fluffy dough, creating a pillow-like texture that is both satisfying and delicious.

Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1 cup lotus seed paste
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water

Cooking Tips:

- Use a food processor to blend the lotus seed paste until it is smooth and creamy.
- Add a little bit of water to the dough if it is too dry.
- Make sure to seal the edges of the dough tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.

Cooking Process:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
2. Divide the dough into small balls and flatten them into circles.
3. Place a spoonful of lotus seed paste in the center of each circle.
4. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch them together to seal.
5. Place the pillows on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
6. Serve warm and enjoy!
