Dragon's Beard Candy

Preparation of the Dough In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch, water, powdered sugar, and vegetable oil. Stir until well combined and the dough comes together.

Resting the Dough Knead the dough on a clean surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Preparation of the Filling While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, mix together the roasted peanuts, shredded coconut, toasted sesame seeds, honey, and powdered sugar. Set aside.

Rolling Out the Dough After the dough has rested, divide it into small portions. Take one portion and roll it out into a thin sheet on a cornstarch-dusted surface.

Filling and Rolling the Dough Spread a thin layer of the filling mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough. Carefully roll up the dough into a log shape, sealing the edges.

Repeat the Process Repeat the rolling and filling process with the remaining dough portions and filling mixture.

Cutting into Pieces Once all the dough portions are filled and rolled, cut the logs into smaller pieces, about 1 inch in length.

Preparing the Coating In a shallow bowl, combine the cornstarch and powdered sugar for the coating.

Coating the Candy Roll each piece of candy in the cornstarch and powdered sugar mixture until fully coated. Shake off any excess coating.

Repeat the Process Repeat the coating process with the remaining candy pieces.
