Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the watermelon by cutting it into wedges, removing seeds, and blending into smooth juice. Aim for about 1 cup of watermelon juice.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together 1 cup of glutinous rice flour and ¼ cup of sugar until well combined.
- Gradually pour the watermelon juice into the dry mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Adjust juice as necessary for consistency.
- Transfer the batter to a microwave-safe bowl, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and microwave in 30-second intervals for 2-3 minutes until sticky and slightly translucent.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter and mix until fully integrated. Ensure butter melts completely.
- Dust hands and working surface with cornstarch. Knead the dough gently for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into small portions, shape into discs ¼ inch thick, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Dust the chilled discs with cornstarch before cutting into bite-sized pieces and serve.
