10 g of kuzu starch
1-2 tbsp of sugar
70 ml of water

Mix the Kuzu starch with the water and food colour until a smooth dough is formed. Add sugar and salt and mix the whole thing with the kuzu mass. Place the mixture in a small pot and warm to 40 ° C with constant stirring. The kuzu mass will thicken. Fill them in a prepared form and allow them to cool down or put it for cooling in a cold water bath.
Fall the Kuzumasse out of shape. Spread these on the plate and spread some currant jam on the edge.
