Ingredients
- 250 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 50 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 80 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 100 milliliters Water
- 200 grams Ube (purple yam) jam
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, sugar, and salt.
Step 3
Add the vegetable oil and water to the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 16 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it into a disc with your hand.
Step 5
Prepare the ube filling by taking a small amount (about 1 tablespoon) of ube jam and shaping it into a ball. Do this for each portion of dough.
Step 6
Place an ube filling ball in the center of each dough disc. Gently wrap the dough around the filling and seal the edges, ensuring that the filling is completely enclosed.
Step 7
Lightly flatten the top of each hopia to create a uniform shape, then place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Bake the hopia in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are lightly golden brown.
Step 9
Allow the hopia to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve the hopia at room temperature, and enjoy the sweet and chewy texture of this gluten-free treat!
