1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, sift together flour and baking powder.

3. 3

   Stir in sugar.

4. 4

   Gradually mix in oil, then 2 eggs.

5. 5

   Add cold water a little at a time, using just enough to hold dough together.

6. 6

   Tear off 2 to 3 tablespoons of dough and press it into a large muffin cup, covering bottom and sides.

7. 7

   Put 2 to 3 tablespoons red bean paste inside the cup.

8. 8

   Then take 2 more tablespoons of dough, flatten it with your palms to make a round, and place it on top of the filled muffin cup, pressing together the edges with wet fingers so that no crack remains. (This is to prevent any filling from seeping out during baking.) Brush the top with some of the remaining beaten egg.

9. 9

   Repeat filling procedure with the rest of the dough and filling.

10. 10

    Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Makes 8 cakes.
