<How to Make Snoopy Shiratama>

◆ Items Needed

・100g of Shiratama flour (for 20-30 pieces)

・100ml of water

・Black food coloring

(You can also use black sesame paste or black cocoa powder as substitutes!)

◆ Instructions

① Mix 100g of Shiratama flour and 100ml of water (the same amount as the weight of the flour) well.

② Reserve a small portion of the shiratama for making Snoopy's ears and nose, and mix in the food coloring or black cocoa powder to create black shiratama.

③ Make Snoopy's face. Shape the white shiratama into an oval and attach the ears and nose＊

(It's common to use food coloring to draw the eyes directly after boiling the shiratama.)

④ Boil the shiratama in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until they float, then cool them in ice water.

⑤ Once you've drawn the eyes with food coloring or black cocoa powder, it's complete! ♡
