Instructions:
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast sesame seeds until fragrant and lightly browned (3-5 minutes). Allow to cool, then grind to a powder in a food processor or with a mortar and pestle.
- In a mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, sugar, and ground sesame seeds.
- Add water, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
