Steps to make For Hinamatsuri or Hanami, Cherry Blossom Crêpes:
- Put the cake flour and sugar into a bowl and mix well.
- Add milk and egg to the bowl from Step 1 and mix until it's no longer floury. Strain the batter through a fine-mesh strainer or sieve.
- Melt the margarine in a microwave or over a double broiler and mix into the batter. Let the batter rest for about 30 minutes.
- Rinse the salt off the salt-cured cherry leaves (if they are very salty, let them soak in water for a while), pat dry with a paper towel, then mince.
- Take out a bit more than 1 tablespoon of the batter from Step 3 and set aside. Divide the rest into 2 portions. Add a little crêpe batter to the matcha and mix to dissolve, then add one portion of batter. Add the minced cherry leaves from Step 4 to the other portion of batter with a tiny bit of red food coloring dissolved in water.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over very low heat. Add a little vegetable oil, and wipe out the excess.
- Pour the batter to make crêpes about 9 cm in diameter using slightly less than 1 tablespoon of batter at a time to the frying pan. Cook each side. (Make a total of 8 pink, 8 green, and 1 white crêpe - the white one should be a slightly larger than the others.)
- Cream the margarine and mix it with the boiled adzuki beans and half of the chopped cherry leaves from Step 4. (Reserve about 1 teaspoon of the cherry leaves for Steps 10 and 12.)
- Layer the sakura (cherry pink) and matcha (green) crêpes so that they are overlapping each other. Put about 1/2 tablespoon of the anko-butter (margarine) filling in the center, and fold in half as shown.
- Cut cherry flower shapes out of the white crêpe. Use some of the anko-butter from Step 8 on the back and stick the flowers onto the folded crêpes from Step 9 .
- Spread a little margarine on the flower shapes, and sprinkle on some sesame seeds. (I also recommend sprinkling on some edible gold leaf.)
- If you put a little bit of the anko-butter from Step 8 between the sakura and matcha crêpes, they will stick together and not come apart.
- These crêpes also go well with fruit! Make one with the matcha crêpe on the outside, then sandwich a strawberry in the middle to make a pair of hina dolls.
