Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 cup white sugar; 5 tablespoons hot water; 1 egg; 2 cups cake flour; 2 tablespoons cake flour; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; 1/2 cup raw sesame seeds, or as needed; vegetable oil for deep frying

Servings: persons

1/2 cup white sugar
5 tablespoons hot water
1 egg
2 cups cake flour
2 tablespoons cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup raw sesame seeds, or as needed
vegetable oil for deep frying

1
Mix sugar and water together in a small bowl until melted. Let cool, at least 15 minutes. Add egg; mix until combined.
2
Combine 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. Mix in sugar-egg mixture and 2 tablespoons oil with a wooden spoon. Knead by hand until dough sticks together, adding 1 teaspoon water at a time if too dry. Wrap dough in plastic wrap; let rest for 30 minutes.
3
Unwrap dough and place on a lightly floured work surface. Roll out into long tubes. Cut tubes into small pieces and roll pieces into balls about 1/2-inch wide.
4
Spray balls lightly with water. Place sesame seeds in a shallow dish. Dip dough balls into the sesame seeds and roll to press in the seeds.
5
Heat deep-frying oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add dough balls; reduce heat to low. Cook, turning occasionally, until lightly golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
