Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Pour syrup, oil and water into the container

   

2. 2 Mix well

   

3. 3 Add flour

   

4. 4 Stir into powder-free dough, be careful not to over-knead the dough

   

5. 5 Wrap in plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for more than an hour

   

6. 6 Knead the fillings and crust you like according to your own taste (the ratio of crust to fillings is 3:7, novices can also use 4:6)

   

7. 7 Take a piece of pie crust and flatten it in the palm of your hand

   

8. 8 Put the filling

   

9. 9 Use the tiger's mouth to slowly and evenly push the dough up

12. 12 Put a small amount of starch into the mold

    

13. 13 Shake the flour in the mold, pour out the excess flour, and press the mold twice so that the mold only needs a thin layer of flour (you can also put the wrapped cake balls into the starch and roll it to remove the excess flour)

    

14. 14 Place the wrapped cake balls, put on the mold and press down

    

15. 15 Make all the mooncakes in sequence, placing them with gaps in between

    

16. 16 Before putting it in the oven, use a spray bottle to lightly spray a layer of mist. Be careful not to spray it directly on the mooncakes. Spraying water from above will spread on the mooncakes. Don’t spray too much water, otherwise the cake skin will stick to your hands

    

17. 17 Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and bake on the middle rack for seven minutes until the surface is slightly colored. Take it out. Wait until the temperature of the mooncakes is about 60 or 70 degrees and it is not hot to the touch. Then use a brush to brush a thin layer of egg yolk liquid (add a small spoonful of water to one egg yolk to make the egg yolk liquid). Wait until the surface has been brushed for the first time and it looks dry, then brush it thinly again

    

18. 18 Bake for about 10 minutes, until the surface is golden brown. When the mooncakes are cool, use a brush to apply a thin layer of peanut oil on the surface. When the mooncakes are oiled, the mooncake patterns will be shiny and beautiful
