Hi Tom, lots of ways to make them. You've listed a fairly
european/American treatment there and it works well. No need to bake
them though. Just mix and ball up on wax paper in the fridge. You may
like the flavor of a little 'chinese 5 spice' added to that set.

Alternatives are to add a little sweet aduki bean or softened dried
fruit and make little balls or a bamboo mat rollup you cut after
chilling almost like sushi.
