*0.75 c. melted butter
*Dough:
*4.5 c. flour
*0.5 c. powdered milk
*0.5 T. baking powder
*1.25 c. sugar
*4 eggs

Method:

1. Filling: Preheat oven to 350F , Place the egg yolks on a cookie sheet and bake them for 10 minutes; remove. Divide the red bean paste into 20 portions. Put 1 egg yolk into 1 portion of the bean paste. Use the hands to roll it into a ball so that the bean paste covers the egg yolk. 2. Dough: Sift flour, powdered milk and baking powder. Beat sugar and eggs for 10 minutes. Add melted butter then add flour and powdered milk; lightly mix well. Divide the mixture into 20 portions. 3. Preheat the oven to 400F. Take 1 portion of dough and flatten it with the palm of the hand to form one 4-inch circle. Place one portion of filling in the center of the dough and wrap it to enclose the filling. Pinch the edges to seal them. Roll the dough to form a ball with a smooth surface. Lightly flour the mold and place the filled dough in the mold; press the dough to fill the mold. Gently tap the mold to loosen the dough and to remove it. Make the other cakes in the same manner. Place the cakes on a cookie sheet and brush egg yolk on top of them. Bake for 30 minutes; remove and serve.
