INGREDIENTS
| 1 | c | Wheat starch |
| 1/4 | c | Tapioca starch |
| 1 | c | Boiling water |
| 1 | T | Peanut oil plus more to oil |
| The wrappers |
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine the wheat starch and tapioca starch in a mixing bowl. When the water reaches a boil immediately pour it into the flour and stir vigorously into a ball, with a wooden spoon. The hot boiling water cooks the starches. Add the oil to the dough and mix together as well as possible. The dough at this point is quite thick and lumpy. While hot, gather up the dough and knead on a lightly oiled surface until smooth and well blended, about 3 minutes. It should feel a bit rubbery and putty-like. Cover with a damp towel. Dough is ready to make Ha Gow or Fun Gwau. Makes enough dough for 2 1/2 dozen Ha Gow or Fun Gwau dumplings. Posted by Stephen Ceideburg. Reposted by Fred Peters.

A Message from our Provider:
“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
