Crispy Date Paste Mooncake

Overview

Since the end of last month, a large number of mooncakes have been sold on the market. But most of what we sell here are Shenchi mooncakes, which are made of sesame oil. I wanted to eat some other flavors, but it was hard to do so, so I made some Soviet-style mooncakes, which are super crispy~
