Dipping your hands in cold water first, form batter into a small balls and lay on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Repeat with all the batter, dipping hands in water each time. Using your finger make a large hole in the center of each bun. I do this by circling my finger in the hole until I have a large enough hole (1-2 inches in diameter).
